"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.

I pointed out the dishonest outright lies a post was making and rustled some jimmies.

Any day I rustle the jimmies of tankies is a good day.

The rest of the modlog was pretty entertaining too.

Edit: No the comment below my ban in this screenshot is not my comment. I guess that was confusing some people.

Full context: someone had posted a picture of the Obamas in a wine cellar and everyone was deriding them for being so bourgeois as to own a wine cellar (all the usual high level discourse such as "MichelleSoUgly lmaolol")

I pointed out that this was them at a private event at a restaurant that has a wine cellar and not their own personal wine cellar. Everyone then freaked out that I was "defending the Obamas" and I got banned for Liberalism.

Oh and for the record, your ban wasn't even for the genocide denial. It was for being a troll and an arsehole.

Which seems to be the same as what happened to you in this post, based on the 1:53 pm action.

Meh. If you don't have the freedom to be an asshole on the internet, what's the point? Lol.

You can and did. Moderators have the freedom to delete your comments and ban you. Freedom goes both ways.

If you want the power to moderate, host your own instance and/or community.

Never said they didn't. Unlike some, I don't get bent out of shape when I get banned.

I may post and laugh about it though. And fuck no to moderating. Lmao. I have a life.
