If you want to side with current customers, another easy fix is to disallow new customers (if they cannot allow auto-margin for new customers.) How hard a change would it be to disable new account creation...at worst commenting out /customer/new on the route file for a day until they can fix the actual problem?

To be perfectly honest, given the way that narrative of the entire debacle has been built up to "hoi polloi stick it to the evil financial gurus", I don't think there is anything Robinhood could have done that wouldn't have immediately been spun as "THEY'RE TRYING TO BAIL OUT THE HEDGE FUNDS!"
