One day it will be revealed that most of what is considered moderation/glowies on the internet was really just a complex algorithm attempting to prevent social rot. There was never anybody there. The algorithm would bunch people together based on tastes and interests and it was assumed that they at least knew of eachother. Instead people just used it as validation to crawl farther into their own caves and justify their lifestyles. They fell in love with the algorithmic understanding of themselves, seemingly nextdoor to eachother but hermetically separated. People will view this time as a sort of tragic preamble to the real information age.
