1. I’d argue we already have. The internet lives and breathes in forums, DMs, and Discord servers. The reason we see the tech as a mess is because what we see at a glance, as folks who are outsiders to more spaces than not is the public-facing, uncurated, asocial or parasocial side.

2. In those more private spaces, I’ve seen ideologies and communities and ideas sweep through and a lot of keeping those groups together is managing it. When you get to that level though, it’s a social interaction and there are community specific social conventions that keep peace

True. I moderated a FB group over the past couple of years but I just moved it over to Discord. I like the rules, and separation of topics. Also that people can mute the threads they're not interested in. It keeps people organized and cooperative.
