Is it? Reddit does it, by splitting up the community into smaller sections that each have moderators. And in my experience it leads to much better results than whatever Twitter and YouTube are doing.

Of course a community is difficult to moderate if you just throw millions of users on one pile and train an AI to hope for the best.

Moderation is all over the place at reddit. Some subs will thank you for flagging bots, some have a zero tolerance policy for "accusations of this kind". Some subs will flag your comments and tell you to clean them up if the content violates community guidelines, others will hand out permabans on the first infraction. Then you have the subs that are at a constant state of cold war with each other and simply ban anyone who ever posted on one of the opposing subs.

The main reddit subs might as well be resonance chambers, there's not one dissenting view that gets enough visibility anymore. Say what you will about Twitter, but the recent ownership changes have helped fight against that (Twitter was also mostly a resonance chamber). YT has managed to remain relatively dissenting the whole time, I don't know how.
