The prominent user who left recently made me realize that while this place is a lot less full of bigotry than reddit, that is a low fucking bar.

What are concrete steps users and mods can take to make this a more welcoming space? I'm assuming the majority of the bigotry is coming from inside the house, bar the occasional raid.

Banning shitstains is good and all, but that is only a part of community management. How do we proactively create a better user culture here? How do we better establish norms of behavior?

      Why do people always comment this kind of stuff whenever someone asks for examples. It's major reddit brain to assume everybody asking a question is doing so in bad faith.

          Yeah trying to get rid of the bigoted elements of this site is a good thing but the admins are kinda fucking it up by being assholes to everyone the past day or two

      I don't browse the site super often, and also don't comment too much unless I feel i have something relevant to share. I personally haven't seen any bigoted or ban-worthy comments while browsing (I do see lots of deleted comments, though, so maybe you guys get to them before I even see them). I have seen multiple times people asking for examples though, and the response is always similar to what you are saying. It would be nice to get examples so I can be aware of any blindspots I may personally have and help aid in reporting them if I see similar content.
