The thing about blocking WaPo and NYT because their opinion sections are just monetized trolling is that you also notice just how often people retweet their actual news content.

Crowdsourced tagging would fix the internet. Is anybody doing this?

My vision for the future of the internet is a browser plugin which adds a meta layer over the internet. You subscribe to tagging coalitions who help you filter and collate everything on the internet and pay by contributing or micropayments.

Oh yea. Literally that's one of the ideas I've been playing with, and I've seen many other try. Also, check out ActivityPub, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ActivityPub …

ActivityPub doesn't seem to be what I'm talking about. Is there a browser plugin anywhere which shows meta-data on tweets, flags bots etc.? Is your thing usable? Where can I grab it?

I'll try to compile a list of those approaches in a post sometime soon. The thing I keep toying with but then thinking I shouldn't because twitter wouldn't like it is just a computational immune system for twitter.

Basically, a secondary graph that propagates an attenuating signal: e.g. this user is just a troll <with example> so you can block/mute, including automatically for reliable alters in your graph.

The trick is to make sure the block/mute periods are stochastic (among other things) to prevent strategic manipulation.
