I disagree. You can create mechanics around the network that reduce the amount of toxicity.

Ephemerality being a big one. If there's no history, there's less of this cached aggression potential by raging over words said in the past. Ephemeral constructs focuses the conversation to the now since whatever current context you're in is fleeting.

Internal fragmentation (siloing) within a larger network being another. Silo might be a dirty word right now but I think combining ephemeral spaces with more siloing can help reduce the "bad things".
