Neighborhood isn't the right metaphor; it is as big as the world now, and should be compared to it. There are many "neigbhorhoods" on the internet. Unfortunately, many of them are quite bad. There are still good ones. For example, I run an online event that brings people together hundreds of people from 6 continents who each write marathon style for 24 hours. That type of event is exactly the "positive" potential of the internet that I dreamed about when I was a kid in the 90s. Unfortunately, one thing is true: the bad don't just dominate, they're way overcrowded.
