I wish there were a website where you could choose exactly who you wanted to interact with, based on common intersts and values and loyalties. Rather than this mess, that seems to be on every site, everywhere.

If all that you're looking for is control over who you interact with, start a locked account on Twitter.

If what you're looking for is a website that will do that without a locked account - a website that's going to surface content and people that you genuinely want to interact with, consistently, and provide strong, open social options while also shielding off ones that don't make sense for you - that's a much harder question. There's just a fundamental underlying conflict between having sharing and social features on the one hand, and sorting people into mutual preference groups on the other. I don't think that there's any actual way to have both. It's not that easy. I don't know how on earth you'd do it. If you have any ideas, let me know.

Forums?

I just feel like it'd be nice if people had people they could connect with online, and generally agree with and get along with, without having to deal with the rubbish of "anyone with any fannish interest whatsoever, all dumped in the same place." Since that just generally leads to more annoyance and argument, than anything decently stress-reducing and fun.

Those places still exist

people choose not to use them, because the benefits of the sharing features outweigh the downsides for most people

Do they?? That's amazing! I sort of thought they all died out in about 2007. Leaving us all to fight each other on social media instead.
