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?

    I think you’re right, this might be too big of a step but personally I wouldn’t mind it if we removed Twitter screenshots from main and tried to keep post of the memes in the dunk tank or a similar comm. when you’re using the Reddit voting system effort posts can’t really compete with memes and right now most of the serious posts are locked up in comms that few people visit.

      Yeah you might notice me [politely] being the dunk_tank police partly for this reason (and partly cause I don't want to see what some dipshit lib of the day had to say unless I go looking for it)
