Recently, I’ve been reading up on #Paris in the 1920s. Over-romanticized of course, but the post-WWI era there gave so many brilliant people in so many fields—arts, STEM, politics—the space and support needed to produce cutting-edge (for the time) creations and projects.
#Mastodon / #Fediverse seems as close to that vibe as you could find a century later. I expect their contemporary criticisms were similar to your list—too lefty, too complicated, etc.
