"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. There is no justifying Genocide.
Revisionism — Downplaying or denying atrocities past and present will result in an immediate 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.

MODERATORS
This comment was in response to someone expressing regret about joining .ml if I recall correctly
Edit: I'm convinced all this guy does is camp out in front of his computer and wait for an excuse to abuse what itty bitty power he has.

They are, they are admins on a .ml instance, being against them is abelism.
Not just any admin. Pretty sure that's the lead dev of lemmy and the jerboa android client.
Doesn't really matter. And knowing about how bad the lemmy back end works and the absolute lack of admin and mod tools its just further evidence of their inability.
Oh, I definitely wasn't saying that to imply it somehow makes them better, more that I would hope someone of that level of importance to this shit would learn to just run/build it and stay mostly hands off, not to play in the dirt. At the very least hide behind a separate user name.
So many open source projects get ruined because the creators/maintainers can't stop themselves from getting into fights with their users or community.
That still doesn't check out... unless you're implying they have cognitive impairments that prevent them from moderating as effectively as other instance admins 🤔
Well yeah. If you couldn't deduce that, you might be a victim of ableism yourself
No shit Sherlock...
Excellent deduction, Watson. Confirming the validity of my clarification that you had intended to make an insult. You'll be a full-fledged detective in no time.
