"Oh, this is calamity! Calamity! Oh no, he's on the floor!"
Welcome to MoG!
Meanwhile On Grad
Documenting hate speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse. Memes are welcome!
What is a Tankie?
Alternatively, a detailed blog post about Tankies.
(caution of biased source)
Basic Rules:
Sh.itjust.works Instance rules apply! If you are from other instances, please be mindful of the rules. — Basically, don't be a dick.
Hate-Speech — You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.
Apologia — (Using the Modern terminology for Apologia) No Defending, Denying, Justifying, Bolstering, or Differentiating authoritarian acts or endeavours, whether be a Pro-CCP viewpoint, Stalinism, Islamic Terrorism or any variation of Tankie Ideology.
Revisionism — No downplaying or denying atrocities past and present. Calling Tankies shills, foreign/federal agents, or bots also falls under this rule. Extremists exist. They are real. Do not call them shills or fake users as it handwaves their extremism.
Tankies can explain their views but may be criticised or attacked for them. Any slight infraction on the rules above will immediately earn a warning and possibly a ban.
Off-topic Discussion — Do not discuss unrelated topics to the point of derailing the thread. Stay focused on the direct content of the post as opposed to arguing.
You'll be warned if you're violating the instance and community rules. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction will double the amount. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time.

I stopped reading here because of the strawman and condescension.
this guy is clearly a right-wing asshole. I don't know why so many people upvote his posts
I'm not right-wing lol
I'm australian :)
Yeah could be... and also the content might be an LLM and upvotes may be bots. The whole thing would be kind of entertaining if it wasn't filling the de facto public square with hate and misinformation
no this guy is genuinely a real life stupid piece of shit I can tell because his content was this dumb before ChatGPT got big IIRC
Why do you think I'm a stupid piece of shit?
You are deeply paranoid.
Tankies are bots. The users here are bots. I'm a bot.
No need to be rude
You're calling everyone you meet a bot, dude.
How about you go harass someone else?
I'm just warning you to stop calling people bots.
Not being able to read isn't much of a brag
Nor is it a strawman. I can link you to so many other users who say the same as you do, and how many times I try to explain to them that no, there's no shilling on Lemmy.
Don't be ableist. remind me to unban you in a week
