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, 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.

I got all excited to use my mod powers within !politics@piefed.social and try out this new principle where if someone says something, and you say some totally different thing you're pretending they said and then argue against the imaginary thing, you get banned.
But alas. We're not in there, so I can't. Keep trying though! Criticizing pro-Palestinian politicians by pretending they are anti-Palestinian politicians sure does help the fuck out of the Palestinians. Keep it up.
Based? I think imma join piefed. Tired of these guys that want to fuck strawmans all day
Does Piefed have Lemmy compatibility?
Some of my Lemmy feed comes from piefed instances.
I have no clue
Well I guess it makes sense why you don't want the sensible people to gain any power in our government then lol
Tankies really hate anything that will pragmatically improve the material conditions. Its a good thing they live in the west; being cold and hungry in a siege might tempt them into action rather than wait around for perfect leadership.

...and your true colors are revealed
Maybe don't stir up fights in a place you don't control
