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?
