I never understood how this was supposed to work.

Any space where abuse was allowed rather than moderated, the space just became dominated by the abusive and they would overtake the space.

Yep

Internet is a strange place right now, much different from what it was

Don't feed the troll was born on the premise that abusers were a minority and that anonymity was protecting the good guys from the bad guys

Today anonymity protects the bad guys from being prosecuted
