We're in the dark forest age of the internet. Nothing good can be in the public anymore.
I've been running a Matrix homeserver/community for last 5 years, and I've tried a lot of different moderation styles, but in the end heavy gatekeeping is the only way to keep fun sane people around. All of the good internet is like this now, it's all gated. The second it isn't, it's either filled by /g/-nazis or /g/-trannies, and once you attempt to cleanse your place of such undesirables, you get DDOS'd and doxxed.
