When I first read this, 8 thought they literally meant 1 bit screen - single on/off pixel. That's really minimalistic!

(But no, it's a "normal" screen, just each pixel is 1 bit)

> and no meaningful follow-up from Panic or community moderators, I started to feel disconnected from the scene.

I'm not entirely in-the-know here, but I struggle to imagine what they can do to deter a the community.

Having run communities myself, I would: take it seriously—immediately—let the community know that harassment is unacceptable, support the person who reported it, investigate privately, remain neutral to all parties. Based on the result of the investigation: enforce consequences or changes—nothing, warning, timeout, ban—introduce or amend policy to help prevent it happening again, support healing of the victim and the community. These are all quite possible in private/managed communities. Not a panacea by any means, but worth doing.
