Yep. I would jump at the chance to be in a forum that didn’t have moderation. The early internet did just fine without moderation.
Learning to ignore the crazy person on the street corner is a life lesson. Having them arrest or otherwise disposed of because, “it’s wrong because…” is not workable approach. No one has executed it successfully, even billion dollar companies fail at it.
4chan is anonymous. That leaves only the turds that can handle the stink.
Things like Usenet were only semi-anonymous.
I actually think the internet works better with personas that stick to the person. There are issues there but they are solvable.
A forum where anyone can spin up new accounts is closer to anonymous/4chan than Usenet was.
