I keep thinking that if this were a forum, people would have been permabanned by now; +
+ if this were a decentralized protocol, we'd have separate channels with community standards

Twitter manages to strike the perfect balance between open and closed to make this a shitshow for vulnerable troll-magnets

It's almost like someone set out to build something that would empower lazy narcissists.http://yesivebeenthere2.wordpress.com/2014/03/24/narcissists-sexists-racists-child-abusers-internet-trolls/ …

I swear, even 4chan is built to create less bullshit—at least within its own boundaries.
-
4chan has to feed on other, less ephemeral fora in order to stir shit up and make people miserable.

You mix ephemerality and anonymity, and you often get unpleasantness but the unpleasantness doesn't linger
-
Mix ephemerality, disconnectedness, and stable identities, and you get ever-lasting grudges filtered through a game of Telephone

I like Twitter because it's reminds me of a wilder, expansive form of IRC, which was always my favorite social medium.

I do want spontaneity and open-ness. I've met some amazing people on here. But I'm also so very tired.

If the best way to deal with a narcissist is to disengage and run away, I need a technology that can really truly let me do that.

@sarahjeong twitter could do the community standards thing with the cluster analysis machinery they use for who-to-follow -
@sarahjeong (making people only visible to others who are near them in the follow graph) -
@sarahjeong but that could hurt growth, so they're never going to do it -
@sarahjeong I've thought about making a client that did something like this, but twitter makes getting the follow graph as hard as possible -
.
@bobpoekert oh Twitter and third party development.... :(

@sarahjeong If it were a decentralized protocol there'd be separate customized clients too perhaps w/ more features to deal with bullshit :( -
@knowtheory@sarahjeong this is my dream. I know how to build it. It wouldn't even be hard. -
@mykola@sarahjeong So why don't we build it? -
@knowtheory look at diaspora, look at tent.io. I'm hoping@aral and his indie project can make it work. -
-
@knowtheory but you can't police someone else's servers. Ultimately it's up to Twitter, here. -
@mykola Not policing :) I'm talking about tracking & accounting for abuse. -
@knowtheory how? Bots with memories and pattern recognition? - 4 réponses de plus
