The internet is worse than it used to be. How did we get here, and can we go back?

Aren't we already doing that though with Mastodon, Lemmy etc?
I'm not saying there are no enthusiast spaces. I'm just explaining some of the tradeoffs that come with too low of a barrier entry when forming a community.
You want to be welcoming and accessible, not intimidating, etc, and I'm not saying any of that is bad. But you lose some of the magic where the whole community is relatively enthusiastic and has a shared vision for what it is when it's easy for anyone to join and pull their own way.
