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?
it’s ok, i do position myself in a way that i know invites strong disagreements sometimes. but that’s definitely something i would prefer to talk about rather than just suspecting it’s actually what op means (because i will continue to have big disagreements on how to handle this stuff and i hope it doesn’t end up with a ban and seriously i’d much rather it wasn’t a source of discomfort for anyone)
