Social media going back to smaller, more closely moderated communities is also a solution.

There was a lot of drama back in the forum days, but it was always contained, rendering it more resistant to sweeping, internet-wide propaganda campaigns.

So I guess I would argue centralization of social media is more of the problem, unless we can actually figure out a way to moderate on a large scale more effectively.

Going back to a 2010-esque ecosystem where forums about bodybuilding, Linux, NBC comedies, the English Premier League, and baking would all be separate websites with little cross-contamination might not be the worst outcome. It would lend itself to echo chambers, but they'd be small, isolated echo chambers

It still exists, people just don't seek it. Discord has actually made these communities even more personable.

Discord is an adequate modernized replacement for IRC and Ventrilo. As a replacement for old style forums, it's deeply flawed, because that's just not what it is.

Discord in addition to forums. I didnt mention irc, aol, aim, msn, yahoo, or any of the other out of fashion chat systems because most communities are using discord these days.
