Having the system be private with separate groups seems to work pretty well at stopping shaming, or at least minimising its visibility. Don't hear much of this stuff going on in Discord groups or Slack chats or what not, and for many people now, those are their form of social media.

In fact, that may be why such private setups are on the rise. Being private means only your friends/allies/community can hear your thoughts, and it limits your posts' exposure to people who might otherwise try and stir up a mob/cause a media frenzy. I suspect a lot of ex Reddit users joined for that (after seeing how the media likes to dig into subreddits and find controversial posts to mock/mention in articles).
