Where are the best online spaces where humanity is attested in a decentralized way, using web-of-trust or something similar?

Personally, I think it's x or Reddit. Of course, there are many bots too.

I went on X today for the first time in a long time. I mentioned something in a thread about an experience a fried had that was relevant to the parent post. Someone (who claimed to be the CTO of some company in his bio), called me a liar, then proceeded to call me and the friend I mentioned a bunch of derogatory names, after I attempted to expand on and clarify things based on his earlier accusations.
Does Reddit still ban people for having discussions in good faith, if they think you’re on the wrong side of the group-think? That was my fate there.
Between the culture and the bots, both of those sites are pretty bad. AI has just made it worse.

I can't think of a worse website to talk to people on than Twitter these days
