Somewhat (un)related, have sites other than Slashdot and its clones like k5, tried meta moderation/karma recently? These sites dealt with their fair share of toxic content and abuse in their day, but through the tint of history it seems like relatively successful system.

Social apps are constrained by mobile UX which hasn’t adapted the more powerful community driven moderation tools of older message boards. With that, we’ve lost the ability to moderate the moderators and randomly select users for moderation. These tools create shared ownership.

No, not on Twitter, anyway, because they're just using you to reach your followers (and those of people you're replying to). What REALLY works, is when they post, they see it, and nobody else does. An echo chamber of one. About[.com] had that as a moderation feature.

Yea, I mostly agree with this. But, I think the coat-tails problem is something twitter may actually be working on. Like, the existence of Jacob Wohl is a powerful indictment of your platform's incentives and wiring.

on a system 100% for public blathering like Twitter's, nothing besides "mute" has any justification
