ok so what’s the game plan for getting all the bigoted shitheads off this website?
i don’t mean what staff is going to do about it, i mean how do we, ourselves proactively expunge this from the site culture, genuinely. i am strategizing here beyond just “report it when you see it” instead of just letting the best accounts on this site get run off by a handful of people you’ve never fucking heard of with rotten attitudes
even if that’s just us doubling down on being sternly loudly inclusive to draw them out and report them (as they seem entirely incapable of keeping their terrible opinions to themselves)
(ps cohost doomers buzz off, i see you using this as “see i was right!” takes and that’s extremely gross. this isn’t about your hot takes.)
at least if we’re being very open about this shit not being tolerated and talk about it, we can take the heat and not force the burden on the most vulnerable on this site.
idk i’m just very frustrated and by the time i see this shit go down it’s too late, i want to proactively push for this site to be better.
if there’s one thing staff could do, the invite chains of early bluesky where you could see who invited who let people wipe out entire lineages of trolls/bad actors. not sure how you do that here now that it’s open signup but some kind of tool to find clusters of assholes would really help
