The problem is that public figures are exposed on social media to everyone. And even though 95% of the population might be reasonable and decent, you have those 5% who are simply not. Then you catch them on their worst day and so I am sure Matz gets bombarded by all kinds of garbage.
I have noticed this problem in other places where people have to deal with the public at large without a filter. For instance, a retail or waiter might encounter all kinds of rude people on a regular basis.
I wish there was an AI quality filter on social media. Sort of like what @dang does here.
- JustSomeNobody 8y agoWait, @dang is an AI?
- ekianjo 8y agoNo, it's a real person. As far as we know.
- projectramo 8y agoMaybe we can start rumors and this will end up second only to emacs vs vim as the primary debate in tech circles. (Or third if you count rails vs django)
- scandox 8y agoDoubtless he would like to be

It's probably somewhat possible to implement, at least to filter most of the trolls, since they follow predictable patterns similar to spammers. On top of that, you could plug some sentiment analysis on comments to detect the most negative/rude ones and either block them or make them appear with a lower priority vs other comments.
- SkyMarshal 8y agoWhy would you need an AI when you can just block angry people? Whenever someone gets irrationally angry at you on social media, just block them. No second chances. 6 months of that and you'll eliminate almost all the negativity directed at you in your feed, with little to no quality loss.
