You will need to reshape who the userbase is in order to cross a threshold from disapproval to approval. Slow purges are required to achieve this in a number of ways. One of the benefits of purges is that if you’re removing one “type” of person you’re usually making a community attractive to a different type.
Small example: Hexbear :gui-trans:
Two rounds of purging over a few months of anti trans posters to make Hexbear safer for trans ppl
Honestly the funniest part of the purges was how easy it was to not get purged and people still managed to fail. People were really like "Be nice to your trans comrades and pick a pronoun from the drop-down list? Sorry I'll take my chances in the gulag"
I still laugh about that shit. Of all the stupid internet hills to die on they chose the one that left enough wiggle room they could have danced the Charleston.

@TransComrade69 taught us that purging bigots is good and pronoun tags should be mandatory.
