This comment made me think of a local online social network that was used predominantly in Umeå, Sweden. I can't speak for what happened in DMs but all the public facing content was very civil. And hardly any noise whatsoever.

But I don't think local online communities will ever managed to get established anew again.

Apberget? It was fairly outstanding in being mostly clean and professionally ran without attempting to go national or sell out much. Until they did get bought.

That's the one. Yes, post buy-out it went poorly but that fallout was a given considering the company that purchased it.
