Rather than rescind voice, i think we need to try some moderation & metamoderation. There's huge problems but we have tried so so so little.
We should be building more advanced feedback & critiques of identities, anonymous, psuedononymous, & eponymous (?). We should be looking at recaps & summaries g aggregates of user histories over time when we run into each other.
What isnt tolerable is every comment having the same weight. Having throwaways appear at the same merit & virtue as a longstanding user of good regard. We havent even begun to generate the most basic, prelimimary of social defenses. Tonpropose that we should simply start blowing up online speech without having tried doing anything to enlighten & inform ourselves- I find these cries pathetic. Just morally ruinous cowardly & panic stricken folks spewing these warhawk fearmongering cries, beating the wardrums. We have to try empowering each other, try dealing with each other some, before we start resorting to convenient banning of speech. In my view there have been next to no initiatives to promote & extend a social democracy. We've let trolls have the power by making all voices look the same, by letting information & speakers not be subject to social review & criticism & defense: that is the enemy here, the free pass, the lack of social defense.
