Please stop spouting these grandiose claims. Go on Facebook, enter a local group and interact with posts and become active in the community. After a while either people will contact you or people will be nice towards you contacting them.

You know, i think the problem is in the numbers. The internet is too vast and the people are too interchangable, i have beed banned for stupid reasons in a few comunities. I think a lot of people knows how easy is to be banned from reddit from certain subreddits for example for...no reason? I personally think that permanent bans should not be a thing if not for really specific, grave and repeatet reasons. timed bans (even really long ones) i think are way more effective for incentivize anyone to change behaviour (creating a new account after begin banned is the preferred solution to a perma ban) We lost a lot of humanity in the process.

  I don’t ever recall being banned from anything anywhere. Although I’ve heard how some subs ban you if you’re part of some other specific sub, and that’s weird. That being said, I don’t get the logic of wanting to be part of a community that actively doesn’t want you. If I’d get banned from anywhere, I’d just move on. But I am still 100% supportive of banning as some people have genuinely ruined previously fun communities.

  Were these communities using Reddit ? It seems to be basically designed to make netiquette hard (more charitably : they designed it by assuming that people would give up on netiquette, which does seem to happen as a community gets larger). It's one of the reasons I'm boycotting it now, but also being wary of too similar looking alternatives like Lemmy.

The claims is not as grandiose as your demand for it to stop

Just like family and friendship groups, Facebook groups are silos like local areas, hobbies, political leanings etc. ICQ requests really were surprising connections
