We still use email, blogs and the telephone network (including sms/mms). And newer decentralized systems like Mastodon. These kind of have moderation but it's decentralized and island specific (also regulated in case of the telephone network).

These forms also don’t have a giant corporation attempting to monetize your attention. Telecoms for example simply charge a monthly fee. I truly believe the micro targeted ad driven and “gets the most clicks “ optimizations have been extremely powerful and destructive

Exactly, the main issue is social networks under corporate control.
