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.
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.
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.
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.

Everyone that disagrees with them is a Nazi yet they actively deny the ongoing genocide of Uyghers.
Everyone who disagrees with them is a transphobe yet they had several posts agreeing with China's ban on Trans people, sterilization and murder.
Yeah I don't get that? Why are they constantly complaining about transphobia all the time? Yet I never see any.
Because it's simply a cudgel to use against other sections of the left "Oh you haven't completely purged any and all bigotry from your movement? Guess we're gonna have to act smug and call you a piece of shit. "
And then "No no no, please don't look at Marxist Leninists track record on LGBT rights" or "No way, there's no genocide in Xinjiang"
nothing makes sense or is consistent in their beliefs, it's a miracle they don't go into a spasm feom cognitive dissonance
They're basically using Fox new republican logic of screaming about how everyone who doesn't agree with them is persecuting them and is a bigot about spins wheel of things they like to call people.
tbf I do definitely see transphobia pop up around the Fediverse, it's just generally downvoted.
