tagging MeWe's Twitter account with your tweet.
I've seen a number of tweets about dangerous MeWe groups, some of them fairly large, being deleted quickly after this is done.
I have no idea whether it will happen as fast if you simply report the TOS violation on MeWe, but it's encouraging that they're taking action when the violations are made public on Twitter.
MeWe also deleted all the far-right groups mentioned in an article that came out a few days ago:

I saw a MeWe tweet about one far-right group with 6,000 members that was deleted from MeWe half an hour after a tweet about it tagged MeWe's Twitter account. Haven't been able to find that thread again, which I saw late last night and didn't bookmark. (There were two words in the MeWe group's name, and one of them was "Veterans." )
There are still countless posts from indiividual RWNJs on MeWe, as a TechCrunch reporter noted this morning:

I think it would be a good idea to report those on both platforms, too, if you use both -- using MeWe's methods for reporting TOS violations, and tweets tagging MeWe on Twitter, ideally with screenshots.
Editing because I just found the thread I saw late last night about the MeWe group with over 6,000 members that was deleted in less than half an hour after a tweet about it:

But there does seem to be a crucial difference in that MeWe WILL get rid of individuals and groups violating their TOS, at least when those violations are made public in ways they can't ignore. I have no idea whether they have a huge backlog of TOS violations on MeWe, as Parler's CEO admitted they had (telling AWS they had 26,000 reported violations to check out). But even if they do, making the offensive and dangerous posts and groups public on Twitter, while tagging MeWe's Twitter account, should get them removed faster from MeWe.

I know some RWers who have shut down their FB accounts and now post only on MeWe, and others who are still on both but unhappy with FB.
So it's very good news to me that MeWe apparently IS willing to go after the people violating their TOS.
