Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Community Guidelines

By following these rules, we can maintain a diverse and informative community. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to the moderators. Thank you for contributing responsibly!

No, but it's a great idea!

Bold of you to assume modern day nazis know how zo draw a swastika. There so many strange 'symbols' where it is clear what the goal was, but the shape was too hard to draw for them... Harder to fix those this way

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

Those can stay up so everyone can point and laugh

Step 4 is "rest of the fucking owl" vibes

Or just leave it at step 2

Corporate logo graffiti sounds hilarious to me

[–] dutchkimble@lemy.lol 7 points 1 month ago

Hah! I use Arch though

Also /s

[–] trolske 32 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Too obvious that it was a swastika in my opinion. But as step three you could turn it into an abstract loss, at least that would take the attention away from the original shape.

Fight swastikas with loss

[–] bstix@feddit.dk 18 points 1 month ago (1 children)

So, this begs the question if it is better to leave it at a stage where it's visible that "Le Resistance" has happened, or is it better to cover it completely so nobody is exposed to the original symbol in the first place.

Could just paint it over in all black if the latter is the goal.

I kinda like the idea of drawing a garbage can or other mockery around it, so people can see that there was a Nazi and this is what we think of them.

I also don't think anyone will turn Nazi from seeing a swatiska. People should be exposed to and educated on what it is.

[–] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I think the reason is to replace the hakenkreuz with something more positive, and as bonus point nazis are gonna hate the evil rainbow

[–] nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 month ago

Yeah, this treatment is for either public graffiti where the original moron will see the new version, or maybe reformed Nazis who had a tattoo

[–] blazeknave@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

That's what I used to do

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Also works if they screwed up and drew it mirrored! But there's no helping some people...

[–] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

im pretty sure that bottom left one is the one where they gave up and wrote the word Hitler to get the point across.

[–] yuri@pawb.social 20 points 1 month ago (1 children)

i turn em into windows logos. once someone had carved the original lines so piss poor wavy that it ended up looking almost exactly like the windows xp flag thing.

[–] atocci@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (2 children)

That reminds me, why was Windows XP's logo a flag... thing?

[–] yuri@pawb.social 10 points 1 month ago

because the future is 3d, that was the windows where all the task bars got that shiny bubble look

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 4 points 1 month ago

Hiding in plain sight

[–] YourPrivatHater@ani.social 16 points 1 month ago (2 children)

A faster method is making them into a small house (make 4 squares and put a triangle on top)

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Then draw a little smiling sun and some birds. Nice!

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

SBurb rules!

[–] Leviathan@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

I've been covering them with band stickers. 6 months later, they're all still covered.

[–] watersnipje@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 month ago

I’ve also had success with simply turning then into a stylized flower.

[–] DaBabyAteMaDingo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Do people still draw swastikas unironically lol

[–] DaBabyAteMaDingo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Where? All I see are dumb shit posters (literally) in porta poties. But that's just edgelords trying to be funny.

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Tic-tac-toe.

Frustration is the greatest weapon against facism.

[–] CluckN@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Now people are going to use this guide to turn Love Wins into a hate symbol.

[–] LowtierComputer@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (2 children)
[–] OfficerBribe@lemm.ee 11 points 1 month ago

You paint over it with white paint and then put swastika in black. Very subtle
