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.

What I find funny is that they idolise China as some form of left wing communist utopia. When in reality it's a very conservative and hyper capitalistic society, just with tonnes of authoritarianism and government control.
I wouldn't call them conservative. It is just plain authoritarian with communist like ideals. They lack a fair justice system and the entire economy bends down to the will of a single party controlled by an exclusive group. There are parts of China that aren't capitalist at all and are just for people who aren't young and able.
What ideals? In China if you're sick and cannot pay they just let you die. At least in America they cripple you with debt but still treat you
Xi being too conservative is not a take many people grasp well.
Discrimination against LGBT people is rife in China. The social attitude towards them isn't great either.
I'm pretty sure it way more than discrimination against LGBT. They are hostile to those who don't fit the narrative and make groups "disappear." They also don't allow freedom of belief
Discrimination against people of colour too
and muslims.
Is it Muslims or just racism? I know they still have blackface on TV and the great censorship Firewall doesn't block racism.
Also some African nations have had issues with Chinese delegates being racist while in some African counties
They particularly don't like Muslims because of the native Muslim populations up north, such as the Uyghurs.
This is depressingly hilarious that they even do this in movie posters
They also do it in tv ads too. I won't share the ad, but it's advertising of a detergent that turns black men into chinese men.
What 😭
Yeah dude
