"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.

I don't understand your rambling. Are you saying 40k is... not worth a lot? Or that it's a disease?
40k is 10days of tuberculosis deaths. Just giving people a little perspective on what problems we should really be focused on solving.
Whoever saves one life saves the world entire.
Can't be comparing deaths
Absolutly can be comparing deaths especially when the easy problem to solve is 30 times more deadly.
dude i can barely even comprehend what you're trying to say.
You can't argue 40k isn't that much. That's not the point. It's people killed, that's the point
I absolutly am arguing 40k comparatively isnt that much. And my point is 40k is fuck all compared to the 1.46million who died of tuberculosis in the same period of time. In fact u can quantify it turns out its 2.74% as important as tuberculosis.
That is not at all allowed. You can't just handwave away 40k deaths.
No apologia is allowed, alright? Follow the rules.
Im moat certainly not handwaving it away. Just educating everyone on issues that are at least 50times more important.
Alright, dude, I warned you to drop the trans stuff before, and I warned you about handwaving deaths, but you're still doing it
