> Twitter should significantly expand the features that let individuals and groups manage the visibility for tweets for themselves. There are already useful features such as muting a conversation or blocking an individual. These could be expanded in ways that allow for delegation. For instance, users should be able to say that they want to subscribe to mute and block lists from other individuals, groups or organizations they trust. One example of this might be that I could choose to automatically block anyone who is blocked by more than x% of the people I follow (where I can choose x). Ideally these features could be implemented at the tweet/conversation level and not just the account level. These are not new ideas. [User] sovereignty in controlling one’s own view and being able to voluntarily pass control of what you see to someone else are quite literally the founding ideas underlying a democracy. At the risk of belabouring the point that these are not new, I already have what he describes in production [1], by the way of moderators you can disable and enable as needed, coupled with community mod elections. See the docs here: https://getaether.net/docs/faq/voting_and_elections/ https://getaether.net/docs/faq/voting_and_elections/ It does make me happy to see I’m not the only person thinking about this, though.
