"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. 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.

Of course he engages in name calling. He thinks I care much more about his community than I really do. I haven’t checked on VTC for weeks.

vegantheoryclub? lol, who goes to that instance?

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 day ago

Anyone who has an opinion that differs from the VTC admin.

[–] einfach_orangensaft@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 day ago (5 children)

ngl probably russians, spewing hate online to further conflictand

[–] goat@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 day ago (6 children)

unlikely considering how small lemmy is. Waste of resources.

[–] Supernova1051@sh.itjust.works 1 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

I wouldn't completely rule it out. I suspect it's much easier to "taint" and disrupt smaller communities. A lot less resources could be strategically used against lemmy - or any other small platform - at their early growth stage.

Not everyone is a russian troll, bad people exist everywhere.

And especially considering it's VTC, if I have to ascribe a group to them without proof, it's the Zizians.

I pay extra attention to him because his instance is the only active vegan one.

Are the Haredi the ones who believe that Israel cannot exist before the Messiah comes?

[–] RowRowRowYourBot@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yes, nothing this person is saying is crazy if you understand the context of their sect's belief.

[–] Crashumbc@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Just because you understand it doesn't mean it's not crazy...

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 day ago

Could’ve left that part out…

Fucking scum.

To be fair genocide is vegan

[–] goat@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] Fleur_@aussie.zone 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Most famous vegetarian, Adolf Hitler commited genocide. Therefore genocide is vegan {QED} checkmate libtards op did nothing wrong

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Tbf, it actually could be considered vegan (by some batshit zizian standard) because "humans aren't animals like that so they don't count and also they harm animals by virtue of being alive (pay no attention to predation in the animal kingdom please!)" And I wouldn't be shocked to hear it.

To clarify, I'm saying this is crazy bullshit, but also that I wouldn't be surprised if a small contingency of the craziest vegans actually believed this crazy bullshit.

[–] Fleur_@aussie.zone 2 points 1 day ago

Yeah like if humans are counted as animals in the vegan definition then literally every product ever made isn't vegan.

[–] germandixdetector@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Is consensual canibalism vegan?

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 day ago

Good question!
