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?

    Lots of the stuff is baked in and means relearning basically how to talk about stuff. Something as simple as "hey dudes" can be problematic in a given context. Not great at it myself, for sure
