especially after they've shown zero initiative or interests in educating themselves.

That's literally what they're trying to do right here and now and your spitting in their faces. Maybe don't post memes about how to be an ally if you don't want to actually help anyone be an ally, it's more counterproductive to your cause than the apathetic allies you're bemoaning.

What did they even say? I think they deleted their account or got perma banned from their instance because I can't even find their account on their instance now.

They just asked what they could do to help be an ally, but it turns out the post OP is just a concern troll and doesn't actually give a shit about allyship.
