"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.

unlikely considering how small lemmy is. Waste of resources.

No, they're here.

This is one place they test and refine candidate tactics, as well as roll them out to the more fringe on the left.

And your evidence of this?

Not everyone is a russian troll, bad people exist everywhere.

And especially considering it's VTC, if I have to ascribe a group to them without proof, it's the Zizians.

Hamas is a terrorist organization, same as the IDF, both of their beleifs depend on the extermination of the other.

I hope the peoples oppressed by these regimes can liberate themselves.

I pay extra attention to him because his instance is the only active vegan one.

Could’ve left that part out…

Are the Haredi the ones who believe that Israel cannot exist before the Messiah comes?

Of course he engages in name calling. He thinks I care much more about his community than I really do. I haven’t checked on VTC for weeks.

lmao I wonder who this one single downvote may be

what a pathetic islamist 🤣

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (4 children)

In his words, a single downvote would be declared “vote manipulation”.

I almost forgot about Vegantheoryclub.org I remember controversy about them with [email protected] where one of the mods of that community was also an admin on there or had ties to the admin there and was using it to ban anyone who criticized her or downvoted her. She was posting a ton of reactionary content (some of which was misinformation) and even tried to ban LW admins from the community. They eventually booted her and she tried to use alts to add herself back but ended up getting all of them booted and then used an alt to try and create more drama.

Yeah I strongly recommend people stay away from vegantheoryclub, they're not a good instance. Their admin clearly has problems.
