I’m not sure the latter two are actually counterexamples. The internet has some pretty dark places and e2e encrypted messaging isn’t visible enough for us to really know what goes on in there.

America???

... is neither "hell" nor a "cesspool" by any sensible definitions of the words.

>America

What do you even mean by this? "America" is not a forum or platform, it's a country.

>the Internet

most forums on the Internet are moderated. Forums without moderation quickly are known to become toxic cesspools. Even sites like 4chan needs to moderate beyond legal requirements.

>e2e encrypted messaging

again, not sure what you mean by this. A messaging platform doesn't need central moderation because users chose who they want to message.
