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.
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.

Could be worse, Goat. The lemmy.ml admins (don't think it was the devs though, afaik they don't handle admin work) have defederated my instance because our users while using our instance didn't respect their rules lmao.
https://defed.xyz/check/lemmy.ml (see "Instances defederated by lemmy.ml")
We are quite literally the only defederated instance for political reasons. Everyone else is either porn or straight up CSAM.
The lemmy.ml admins are the developers, yeah.
Yeah I know they are the head admins, but I remember reading somewhere that they've delegated most of the admin work to other admins on that site. Don't know if it's true, tho. I'm pretty sure the person I spoke to wasn't a dev, for instance.
Nah the devs carry out admin work too (which is why lemmy development is so damn slow). You can check on their matrix channels.
