"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 it 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.

Off-topic Discussion — Do not discuss unrelated topics to the point of derailing the thread. Stay focused on the direct content of the post, rather than engaging in arguments that lack mutual agreement.

Brigading/Trolling — If you're here because this community was linked in another thread, please refrain from maliciously voting, commenting, or manipulating the post in any way. This includes alt accounts. All votes are public, and if you are found to be brigading, you will be banned. Good-faith and honest communication is an exception.

Tankies can explain their views, but may be criticised or challenged for them. Any minor infraction of the rules may result in a warning and possibly a temporary ban.

In most cases, 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. Depending on the content, the ban time may vary.

And for the record, there was nothing even remotely racist in my comment. Dessalines just can't accept being wrong. 🤷🏻‍♀️

UPDATE : I am (almost) sad to report the ban only extends to memes@lemmy.ml !

Also, I found the original comment, here it is (and if you see what's racist about it, please tell me, I'm open to being wrong about this, although I really doubt it) :

Yes, it is. You can be confused when checking it out because it not only allows you to navigate communities individually like on Lemmy but also bundle of communities for a single feed by topic or custom feeds created by others (likw how people can bundle a list of profiles for its own custom feed on Bluesky, but instead you do it with communities on PieFed)

Communities (Lemmy) = Communities (PieFed)

Topics (PieFed) = by so far what I understood its created by the instance usually and by default when self-hosting your own it will have some topics already organized with feed from communities related to the topic title

Feed (PieFed) = user & instance custom built feed of communities (Lemmy or PieFed) bundled together into a single feed and easily shareable with others

You can check the PieFed instance list here , some Lemmy instances are alreqdy starting to host a PieFed instance on the side too I just dont see lemmy.zip instance for PieFed there yet which is piefed.zip but you can check the others in the notes by the side of their address

That would be Pixelfed , maybe you just confused the names :)

If you are looking for fediverse Facebook, theres Friendica but in that case I find Friendica better if you're going to selfhost for you and your friends to use for having a different use case, also supports bridging with plenty of Fediverse platforms and Fediverse-friendly platforms like Bluesky and even pull RSS Feeds into your feed, its quite the tool if you are willing to selfhost or any of your friends IRL are
