"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

What is a Tankie?

Alternatively, a detailed blog post about Tankies.

(caution of bias)

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 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.

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.

If you're violating instance rules, you'll typically be warned. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last seven days, but repeat infractions will have longer sentences. You may ask to be unbanned.

And genocide denial is illegal in Germany, many other EU countries followed that, but the majority of instances host with Hezner, wich has servers in Germany, so its legally problematic for EU hosted instances. https://www.dw.com/en/germany-criminalizes-denying-war-crimes-genocide/a-63834791

Huh. Well considering the actions of the German government this past year, I doubt they'll be doing much about genocide denial this time around.

This alleged holocaust denial though... you've piqued my interest. Lemmygrad, being an extremely communist instance, is almost always vocal about how the Nazis did a lot of genocide. It'd be weird for that to be there without immediately being removed by mods. Do you have any examples or quotes, perchance? I haven't had a particularly good experience with lemmygrad users on average, but this would definitely take the cake.

As for Hexbear brigading, that actually was apparently an issue for lemm.ee a long time ago. But the admins talked with the hexbear admins and were able to get it resolved. At least, on lemm.ee communities, hexbear users seem to be following the rules – usually it's lemmy.world users breaking the rules sitewide (usually for transphobia, very recently some prominent users there were promoting pedophilia). But I think lemm.ee doesn't ban users much regardless unless they're extraordinarily uncivil and cartoonishly evil. There's not even a modlog that I can find (pretty weird not to have a mod log).

Lemmygrad doesn't deny the nazis did the holocaust, no. But they do deny that Jews were systematically killed in WW2 by the Soviet Union. They do deny that the Soviet Union assisted Nazi Germany in gathering Jews.

There is evidence of this across this community, which you may search for at your leisure.

Jews were systematically killed in WW2 by the Soviet Union

This is double genocide theory, and it's a form of holocaust denial.

[–] goat@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Oh yeah? Want to explain how? Because the Soviet Union also contributed to killing jews.

Oh wow no thanks blocked.

[–] goat@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

I restored your comments. No idea why they were removed as they aren't in the modlog. Did your instance admins remove them for some reason?

[–] sparkle@lemm.ee -1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

...? I'm confused. Is ani.social a Nazi/anti-Palestine instance? I've had a total of 2 interactions with people from there mentioning Germany denying Israeli war crimes, and both of those people happened to be pro-ethnostate and immediately went the genocide denial route. I guess weebs on Lemmy are just as conservative as weebs on Reddit or something

Edit: Oh, it's mostly porn/erotic content and talking about erotic content in anime... so it's literally just the Reddit anime communities, but on the fediverse. Welp, that's enough Lemmy for today
