"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.
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.

You sound far left to me.
Anyway I think I was seeing the warning comments and it that lead me to believe mod action was fairly aggressive. However, I would like to point out that a lot of your warnings are political on nature from what I've seen.
Anyway, I'll hold off on creating the meanwhileonmeanwhileongrad community.
Side note: You should allow tankies to come here and defend there wild takes as it is entertaining. Just don't allow anything to offensive.
I'm not on any political side. Left-Right is nonsense designed by elites to divide people into fighting one another instead of the common cause of all their problems. Plus, it doesn't even apply in my country due to our voting system. Instead of labelling me as something, how about you just ask me what my views are?
And yes, they are political, this is a political community. Feel free to make whatever community you want, I don't care. I think Tankies on Lemmygrad had a meanwhileonMOG somewhere; maybe you can go join that.
I'll consider allowing Tankies outside the thread, but from experience, they don't bother explaining themselves and usually just start trolling people.
I find the trolling to be particularly funny. It can be a slippery slope though to it is definitely something to be careful with.
