It should be a multi-pronged approach, build alternate comms off the Tankie Triad while also showing opposition for new users to hopefully see that no, this is not a safe haven for tankies
But here’s the thing: constantly posting memes about “the tankie triad” paints you in a bad light, the light of the harasser.
People don’t care about that. To get them to switch to another community, you have to offer a better community. No amount of meme is going to help with that.
Lol I haven’t posted a meme about it for a few weeks now, I’ve been focusing on documentation lately
Either way though, it requires a multi-pronged approach. Memes alone will not sway, but better comms, public documentation of their behavior AND memes can be incredibly effective
A common trend I’ve noticed in the comments when Tankies come up is a growing group of “I’ve never noticed anything bad about .ml” people. Since .ml tends to enforce their narrative through mod action it has the effect of being more subtle. Hex/grad IMO have more of tendency to choose “dogpiling” which is a lot more visible to people.

Sounds good. Sorry about that, I thought the last one was much more recent.
What documentation are you focusing on?

So now whenever I dip into the modlog or I’m bored I’ll collect some screenshots of that in action and post them to [email protected] like at https://lemmy.world/post/26047186
Okay!
