There was a place I used to go to that had a bit of a problem with this. It ended up becoming less of a problem without any intervention, as the one guy was booted from the group for threatening someone... But what I had suggested to another group member before that point as a potential solution to the "holy hell just shut the fuck up" problem, was an anonymous poll of sorts. I don't know how this would be done exactly, but it would if nothing else mean that no-one would individually have to come forward to say "shut up".
What I should mention is that this group was a welfare contractor. No other group I've been a part of, be it a support group or a leftist org, has had a problem with this. So that you're experiencing this points to a structural issue within the org.
An app where everyone in the audience or meeting or whatever can anonymously vote for the person to stfu and a light turns on when the vote hits a threshold. Threshold can be determined by how long they've been talking
