Creating a Healthy Community Culture
summary
Adds an anonymous reporting channel for microaggressions so those burdened by reporting can offload to allies, implements public short temporary bans which measurably reduce repeat offenders, and trains moderators and allies with workshops so bystanders can call out bad behavior. Builds a rapport channel plus ritual prompts to encourage safe self‑disclosure, practices pause-and-review (write unsent responses, breathe before sending) and improv role‑play for hard conversations; these practical fixes are what actually changes culture.
