There was a brief but glorious period after Trump lost reelection at the end of his first term where all the social media sites finally started cracking down on the entire alt-right. Automated misinformation detectors went up, agitators and openly racist accounts (including Trump) were banned, and things almost started to look like they might get better for once.
