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?
(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, rather than engaging in unrelated arguments.
Brigading — If you're here because this community was linked in another thread, please refrain from voting, commenting or manipulating the post in any way, this includes alt accounts. All votes are public, and if you are found to be brigading, you will be permanently banned.
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.
Bonus mocking 'liberals' for not understanding the Fediverse whilst not understanding the Fediverse
and how will your wife react when she hears that you spend hours, every single day, creating account after account after account, trolling the same three or so people relentlessly?
really, consider. you have to use a vpn, find an instance, use a fake email, make a fake password, make a fake username, find the threads you don't like, read the threads, and then comment a bunch of shit.
then for us, it's a click of a button to remove all of that.
In terms of time spent, you lose out considerably
As an example, Antiyanks here sent me well over a thousand DMs because I said something that pissed him off and/or made fun of him. You know what I did? Blocked his account. All 1000+ messages gone in an instant, and I didn't read a single one of them before doing so. All that time and effort he spent was completely and utterly wasted by a single click. Same for any thread he spams, just a single click of the block button and all those messages are gone like the wind.
nah i rarely read his messages either, i just ban them asap
i hope he has an epiphany and realises how pointless his efforts are. i legitimately believe he can join in on threads and stuff without being crazy
