I kinda suspect mutes are more effective than blocks. Like, I'm not saying don't use blocks — they're great! But a person shouting at someone who can't hear them interrupts that intermittent reinforcement schedule more than seeing the overt block.

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.

Enabling content creation on mobile is a UX problem. If it’s not well supported, devices are tools of consumption and don’t create a sense of community, shared ownership, responsibility or citizenship. Engagement though community moderation should be a goal.
