Joke Tactics ala ”NUtizen”

To counter conservative narratives, @NUgarislucu, chooses satirical communication tactics. Its inspiration comes from jokes at the pesantren, which were formulated into fun and relaxed tweets on social media.

Tweets and replies on the @NUgarislucu and @KatolikG accounts. The emergence of funny line religious community accounts is a form of freedom of expression and at the same time a space for connecting interfaith togetherness.

The lights became increasingly dim when students at a pesantren (Islamic boarding school) in East Java began to fall asleep. After the recitation routine, some of them mingled in a room that was once the headquarters of the pesantren. Three young men were in discussion, occasionally laughing out loud, joined by a young man on a video call.

Late at night creative ideas fill the content of Twitter account @NUgarislucu. "Tomorrow we roll up the kultwit [Twitter lecture] about Banser [civilian security guards of Ansor, the youth wing of Nahdlatul Ulama], because lately there are many [NU] friends complaining about the criticism and scorn toward Banser," said HM, one of the admin of @NUgarislucu, retelling the incident on Thursday (2/2/2023).
