I wonder how Slack/Discord channels change this. In several of ones I'm in, we have a dedicated channel for topics that are best treaded lightly about - one is called "adult chat", another one is called "taboo". The understanding is that if you cannot participate in a civil manner, you leave the channel, for awhile. I've had to leave those channels on occasion. The chat, and I, were better for it. It also helps keeps discussions going, because I know that if I just want to vent, I can head over to #vent. If I need some tech support, I can go to the tech channel. If I want to shitpost, boy oh boy, have we got a channel for that!
