Have you thought this through?
There’s probably over a million literally deranged people on Facebook.
Even if you only come across a tiny fraction of them, that’s still way more then you could possibly ever encounter in real life, in one physical community, due to simple probability and population density…

And that's not a stretch either: it's what Facebook was in the early days. They decided to change it, to become what it is now. [1]: I do not in any way mean to imply Nextdoor is doing things right, just showing that "social network structure" is a decision, not some kind of inevitability.
