Naval@naval·Oct 20, 2016Good proposal. I would add a commitment to free speech. Trolls & harassment can be handled through community tools that Twitter never built.Quote TweetVenkatesh Rao@vgr·Oct 20, 20161/ Tweetstorm on twitter future as requested by @tomcritchlow71774
Venkatesh Rao@vgr·Oct 20, 2016Replying to @navalthere is already an uncritical commitment to free speech. That's part of the problem. They fetishize it without grokking it.225
Naval@naval·Oct 20, 2016Replying to @vgrA properly designed Twitter wouldn't have anyone sitting at HQ trying to figure out which accounts to ban and which ones to leave alone2126
Venkatesh Rao@vgr·Oct 20, 2016Replying to @navalthere we agree. PeopleRank or suchlike with sock puppet detection via machine learning for whack-a-mole trolls17
Naval@naval·Oct 21, 2016Replying to @vgrIt would need to be personalized to each user, not a global list. One man's terrorist is another's revolutionary.214
Venkatesh Rao@vgr·Oct 21, 2016Replying to @navalI'm skeptical of 99.99% of 'free speech' derping. 0.001% is courageous speech under threat. Rest is "waah, she bit back" crybabies11
Naval@naval·Oct 21, 2016Replying to @vgrThis is where we part ways. Introduce subjectivity in speech policing, and it's just another walled ghetto.125
Venkatesh Rao@vgr·Oct 21, 2016Replying to @navalthere is always subjectivity; only diff is whether it's algo designer thinking of use cases or operations person thinking live cases11
Naval@naval·Oct 21, 2016Replying to @vgrDifferent model - you can reject global filters and let each user / group define and share their own. Web of trust solutions. They work248
Naval@naval·Oct 21, 2016Replying to @naval and @vgrI've designed two in the past. It's how every well managed social network is run.31
Venkatesh Rao@vgrReplying to @navalthen either your systems haven't been stressed past their abstraction leak thresholds or you're not acknowledging subjective elements2:08 AM · Oct 21, 2016
Naval@naval·Oct 21, 2016Replying to @vgrOne site had 10M uniques and the second has 4M profiles. You're just flat out wrong or we are talking past each other.12
Venkatesh Rao@vgr·Oct 21, 2016Replying to @navalYou're claiming to have designed ideal systems with NO subjective elements introduced by designer. Yup, talking past each other.2
