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.

I was blocking most lammy.ml communities I encountered. I finally just blocked all the lammy.ml instances. Its mostly trash there and I will find some place else.
For opensource communities (the one topic their communities are usually quite popular)
Thankfully now that there are lots of viable alternatives. Plenty of those communities are moving or winding down. I would like to see more do what the KDE devs did. And have their own official communities whenever possible. Of course Mozilla only tried Mastodon but took theirs down already
They have their own instance: https://lemmy.kde.social/
Aye that was the next part of the bit you quoted that I mentioned that. And I am definitely subscribed to it.
It just makes far more sense for open Source projects. Than associating themselves so closely with toxic political ideologies like capitalism or leninism.
Ah indeed, sorry misread your comment
How do i block .ml?
Go to setting and select block. go to the bottom and put lemmy.ml in the search and block. I blocked three lemmy.ml instances. So far they are the only one I've blocked.
Thanks!
That plus hex and lemigrad. It just cleans your feed.
