Welcome to MoG!

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.

There are plenty of conservatives on Lemmy. I don’t think it’s even pretend tankies I think some people are just straight up MAGA that found their way to a hostile part of the internet lol
there's conservatives on lemmy? where?
They even have a whole community, [email protected]
...or rather there's a handful of people posting stories there just to be downvoted by random lemm.ee users browsing the local feed, often followed up by getting dissected in the comments.
That's a great place to go if you want to argue about Southern Strategy. You can experience well-considered positions such as, "name the exact day or it is fake," "nuh uh," and "no, you."
I tried going here. I was hoping for a post-Trump community, but that place is led by a fascist mod. His whole post history is asking for good faith arguments while delivering bad faith. The mod ACTUALLY believes the words coming out of Trump's mouth. He'll tell you how the crazy left is fighting for an open border and they hate our country. It's not reality. It's not even head-in-the-sand. It's pure fairy tale.
There's like four of us. But we get down voted a lot and quickly banned from most.
We're not common.
why do you think you get banned?
Cuz mods are shit everywhere and our views are unpopular. They will deliberately misinterprete comments, looking for awful meanings that don't even make sense.
Like how you deliberately misinterpret LGBT-themed books as being literal pornography?
Always fun to check a regressive's comment history and see what they're actually crying about.
Gender queer specifically has a picture of a blowjob. It's explicit. It's not meant to titalate, it's meant to prevent the book from being put on school shelves so the author can complain conservatives are oppressing free speech.
Most lgbtq books are fine. It's that one specifically that keeps coming up. It's just bait.
Is that why you post from a server that doesn't report downvotes? Your view of Lemmy is through rose tinted glasses.
can you mention that book though?
All karma means is how much you circlejerk. That's it.
It's obvious you feel that way. That's why you won't accept a single negative viewpoint. Your server highlights every time someone celebrates you but not any time somebody disagrees with you. Sounds pretty snowflake to me.
I don't think they have any clue that next to that fairy tale fascist mod, they're one of the most downvoted regulars of the echo chamber. Ignorance is bliss. Ignorance is conservative.
