"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.

No I think they’re putting words in OP’s mouth because I recall some drama where Blahaj members accused sh.itjust.works of being a transphobic instance

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 36 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Hexbear et co literally have called Blahaj a transphobic instance, numerous times. Lunacy.

Like many right-wing fascist-simps-in-arms, plenty know some buzzwords to get people riled up, but don't know when and where to properly use them.

I really appreciate the levels of irony in your comment, whether or not they are intended.

Hexbear doesn't count

Is the fediverse always like this? Inter-instance shitflinging?

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Mostly, no. Usually, it's just .world and .ml that get into slapfights. Hexbear is just bizarre.

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 week ago

Hexbear is a horrific mix of trolls and true believers that makes it weirdly toxic.

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 6 points 1 week ago

Yes, there are a lot of tankie instances

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 2 points 1 week ago

It got much worse just prior to the USA election. Also the entire purpose of this community is shitflinging onto tankie instances, usually after someone gets banned from them so... you'll see a higher concentration of that here vs. the Fediverse at large.

There's also !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com and !fediverselore@lemmy.ca that are less shitflinging about it, and have a much wider focus than just onto tankie instances. Check them out! 😀

what's even more fun is how i got banned from blahaj.zone's c/transgender for saying hexbear is extremist and they decided to frame that as "calling trans people extremist".

[–] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

can someone give more information about SJW and Blahaj? I know there was something about !noncredibledefense@sh.itjust.works and ADA @ blahaj where the noncredibledefense mod was being dumb, but was there more drama than I know about?
I moved here because of .world being controversial and I don't wanna move again :/
