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.

~~The fact that you aren't killing tankies and fascists on-sight is why they keep coming back like roaches to threaten vulnerable people, so this is partially your fault for being a impotent pacifist group of pearl-clutchers that only complain online all fucking day.~~
~~If you have a termite infestation, do you let them stay in your house? Do you bargain or negotiate with them? No, you fumigate them into near genocidal fury of they will eat the insides of your home until it collapses on top of you in your sleep and kill you.~~
Edit: i don't think pacifism works, but i wont stop you from believing you think impotently waggling your finger at ~~Republicans~~ conservatives/regressives/racists/religious xenophobes/patriarchy/oligarchs/incels/proudly ignorant people, complaining online in echo chambers, hoping that police will protect you against gun owning fascists, and politely protesting does anything.
Are you advocating for murder or is this just deeply unfunny sarcasm?
I'm saying that I'm a moron and you shouldn't listen to me.
Please delete or edit your comment. No advocating violence
Ok, done.
It's not a matter of pacifism, it's a matter of ToS and not appearing to be a hypocrite. We'd appear hypocritical if we criticise their constant calls for murder with our own.
Though, I personally believe that if you boil society down to its base, it'll reveal itself to be entirely fuelled by violence.
also fuck off with the us defaultism. no one mentioned republicans or the third-world nation of the us.
Ok fixed.
