I disagree. Not every forum was SA or 4chan, plenty were aggressively moderated. The primary difference between then and now that I see is that, back then, moderation wasn't always considered censorship.

I'm talking about the upper level of modern content moderation, imposed by the platforms themselves. It's the autonomy that is missing nowadays.
