Absolutely. My unsolicited advice is to proceed with caution. I was there, many years ago, when the Internet changed from University access to a flood of the public. It has become known as the 'Eternal September'.

From most person's experience, during that transition, we all knew each other in real life. There wasn't anonymity.

And, all of a sudden, there was anonymity. Thus, people could just say anything that they wanted without consequences.

Fast forward to now, and it's a complete shit show. Where do we turn?

All it takes to create a perfect space on the Internet is good, consistent, 24/7 moderation. Easy to do when the space is small; impossibly difficult beyond a certain size. But I can't fault anyone for trying to achieve it.
