You know what was great about the early web. You had to have something going on between your ears to contribute. The gate was kept by brains. X, FB, Reddit... prime example of what happens when you let monkeys loose with typewriters. There are plenty of good parts of the web. There are still forms and communities where smart people are doing their own thing. GO look at communities around Home Lab, Home automation/Home assistant... The Linux kernel is still getting built on the back of a mailing list, and there are plenty of rich communities around the whole eco system. The web is still great you just have to look for your corner of it.
