Up until now, social containers like groups, communities, or subreddits on all the largest social networks have existed as fundamentally separate locations on a single hierarchical level.

"Up until now"... Uh... no, Usenet... was the open standard for social media. Created in 1979. A foundation of the Internet. Just as much as e-mail was.

That's not really the same thing because 'alt.tv' doesn't aggregate everything under it. Let alone the other relationships they describe (e.g. biochemistry).

Really, are you going to ignore what it says? The opening?

It implies a flat /c/a /c/b /r/a /r/b system "until now"? Or am I wrong?

Perhaps you aren't faniliar with how under-utilizes naming dots matter in domain names?

smtp.chemistry.science.oranic.org has been in the Internet (Usenet) conventions for a VERY long time! Forgotten, burred in $$$$$$ wealth. "Windows"... Everywhere. Owning the words. TradeMarks.
