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?

    Do we have a slurs filter? /r/latestagecapitalism had a very good one that helped me learn to not use able-ist language. I don't know if we need to implement it 100%, but maybe putting flags on the words, or letting users mute words. Spitballing here

      Yes, there is one. It's very naive and there are circumstances where it removes things in the middle of words. I'm not going to give examples for obvious reasons.
