the rachel drama/hack, the pronoun struggle sessions, and now this (most likely) false accusation against beatnik show that there's a lot of asshats with no morality willing to use anything against the site, and we need to get a lot smarter and stop falling for it
One part of the solution to me is don't pin that shit (as in stuff involving specific individual users) to the top of the front page. It makes it much more of a big drama and talking point. Just let it exist as part of the site as normal and people can care about it if they want.
No shit that is the biggest problem on this site. Like just make it an unpinned thread in user union instead of blowing up the site with it. Literally no website on earth spotlights it's stupid user drama like we do. This goes for all drama
