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.

Tankie are the kind of people who will criticise capitalism while indulge in it.
Do not post about IPs
Almost every IP now is meaningless
What?
I think tankies say some pretty stupid shit too, but you shouldn't doxx people. I think the link to their presumed employer is a step too far.
Also, being a "well-paid software engineer" and a Marxist is only contradictory if you don't understand what Marxism is. Unless you are a part of the bourgeoisie (being well-paid is not the same thing), being a Marxist is a perfectly reasonable position to have.
The real problem is that many of the """Marxists""" on this site seem to be more interested in American Diabolism and doing apologia for a different set of genocides (the few that America opposes).
Regardless, it's bad to doxx people.
thank you for calling them out
Though I am curious about your thoughts on Marxism as every theory has many takes and interpretations. I'm of the opinion that simply having exuberant wealth is still exploitation, no matter how righteous you try to be with it.
I'm using a VPN as well, technically even two.
It being part of the cosplay could be a good explanation for it being to Belarus, a normal user routs over at max 3 countries when not wanting to access Geo blocked content due to speed.
larp
That shit is illegal, you dimwit, perma ban, no appeal
I'm no marxist, but aren't they somewhat their ideology's target demographic?
Maybe they mean engineers in general? Engineers tend to be over-represented in cults, because "Smart people believe weird things because they are skilled at defending beliefs they arrived at for non-smart reasons."
Knowledge capital managers on the unempowered end of the bureaucracy...
What do you mean?
Lemmy doesn't have protection no, but most routers and ISPs do.
Regardless I'm deleting all mentions of this topic. Personal information and doxxing is not allowed at all, you will be perma'd if you try it
Wait. What happened here? Did they use Lemmy available system info to effectively doxx someone? That needs to be communicated. I'm aware no where in the internet is private but if it's a vector a chatter can quickly spool up that needs to be discussed (elsewhere, just seeking confirmation from you here)
(I can take this to DMs with you if you like)
It wasn't an issue with Lemmy system info. It's not a vector particular to Lemmy, it was something else.
Gotcha thanks
Hey I didn't dox someone getting a public IP just gives a vague area. I didn't know the info provided by the other user was not publicly available.
Actually not that much, they communicate with a IP towards the outside and you can get that public IP, wich gives a vague area (as in next bigger city usually) and no, most routers don't have something like a killswitch that presents them from spilling the Private IP, that's one reason VPNs exist.
And the link was just a example of how it can look, If I wanted people to click on it I wouldn't have said "it will track you"
I understand but I need to be thorough and broad. Best drop this particular topic
👍
