Lovecraft Mythos - Cosmic Horror
H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos is a shared universe far larger and more terrifying than that of humanity, where ancient, malevolent beings known as the Great Old Ones slumber in the depths of space or time. After Lovecraft's death, the Mythos has been expanded and developed by many authors, including August Derleth, Clark Ashton Smith, and Robert E. Howard. These and many other authors have helped to flesh out the Mythos into a rich and complex Dark Universe.

Dark Forest Theory. The latest season of Dungeons and Daddies is about this.
I thought dark forest theory was that there are more fake people than real ones on the internet
That's the dead internet theory. Dark forest theory is that we haven't had contact with alien civilizations because doing so would be suicide, as all resources are finite and highly advanced civilizations will preemptively destroy emerging civilizations before they become a threat. So there is no "noise" in the galaxy, because everyone is hiding and watching, like in a dark forest. It's based on the sequel to the 3-body problem by Cixin Liu, called The Dark Forest.
