I'm not sure if it's possible to build a healthy social network.
Smaller communities can work, if they're well moderated. The small size also helps norms become established.
Once the network gets really big, you have eternal September problems. You have too many bad actors in absolute numbers to deal with.
So yeah, the problem is us but we suck.
