Think of walled off 'private communities' with HOAs. My take is people want the internet that self selected for only the certain social groups/classes of people that could afford the internet in the early 2000s without having to say that is what they want. Mainly college students and post-college professionals with enough disposable income to afford the limited practical use the internet offered back then. Maybe make a startup that only offers services to those in the RIGHT Discord channels, with the right social credit. Maybe job offers first go to those in your channels, so your same social circle that has already self selected out the 'wrong' types. It seems super gross to me but the other alternative complete sucks too. I just think this new direction is as classist and racist as private home communities with restrictive HOAs and the people hear need to be honest that that is what they want.
