Dude, we used to live in strictly segregated ghettos everywhere. If it wasn't ethnically divided, it was strictly segregated by class, and if that wasn't the division, it was religion.
The internet for a while was a big melting pot, probably because there was an inherent IQ filter to using the early/medium web.
But once the stupids came on, then came the stupid-manipulation companies chasing them, and everything went to hell.
Usenet was kind of like this too, until tools made usenet more accessible.
I've been too busy to look at Mastodon/Bluesky out of laziness. I never did Twitter. Mastodon may require some technical work to make use of, which may be a wonderful long term thing.
