Direct participation is an obvious way to help with this; anything else in your toolbox?
It's mostly direct participation, but trying to make a point of interacting with more content than I'm naturally inclined to and being less of combative jerk than I'm naturally inclined to be.
I do also talk to developers occasionally (on the rare occasions that I feel like I have something to contribute) and I pretty much always accept requests to check out and give feedback on people's start up projects.

Haha. I think this is starting to become more the norm for people who still have their heads screwed on straight as the wheels continue to come off "proper" society.

I aspire to the same. I'm hoping eventually it starts to become more natural.

For me, at least, it is starting to become more natural. I've discovered the power of just unfollowing people I don't like, rather than getting into heated arguments with them.
I've also gotten a little better about letting things go, even when I think they're only 97% correct.
