"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.

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.

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.

Some believe it's islamophobic to point out how the Middle East treats its queers. They're strange.

I mean it is, gays have a Islamophobia because they don't want to be killed. I think thats like arachnophobia...

A phobia is a fear after all.

Yeah I wish we'd drop the whole phobia thing and just call them bigots.

It makes them sound like a victim when in fact they are creating victims by being a giant piece of shit.

The Muslims would be the bigots in that case...

You cant call gays bigots for not wanting to be killed... And they aren't the assholes in that situation either way.

Not all Muslims are homophobic.

Hating someone because of their religion while ignoring their personal beliefs/interpretation is bigoted.

Homophobic people are very clearly bigoted.
