Things have changed since the 1990s. Some mild homosexual slurs might have made their way through Usenet moderation, and trans issues were not even on the radar. Today, those favouring content moderation expect what they see as anti-LGBT attitudes to be filtered out. Also, Usenet was so niche that state actors weren’t running troll armies for propaganda purposes, but this is something any modern social network has to deal with.
