That’s just the Dark Forest Hypothesis
Not quite. Dark forest says it’s dangerous out there, so everyone else is quiet. Not that we’re dangerous, but that we’re at risk by being noisy.
We pose no real threat to any other civilization, we can’t get to them.
It’s possible we’re being avoided because we’re loathsome in some way or various ways, but that’s not dark forest.
It’s also possible we pose a risk we don’t understand (disease, culture, loudness) so we’re avoided / quarantined, but that is also not dark forest.
More like Ostracized Planet.
