I’ve always said the best type of media on the internet is almost no moderation because that means anyone can post anything.

People who post stupid or nonsensical things would just get ignored anyway, there’s no need for a mod tram to dictate what can and cannot be posted online. They should only exist to remove spam or brigading.

The wild west internet was great at this, we got some of the coolest communities and memes from all over the world.

Right around MySpace falling off, Facebook started agregiously taking over the majority of social media. Lots of forum sites are now dead or empty.
