It'd be great if there was a record of how/why people were blocked on twitter. Fingering megablock & the originating tweet would be great context to know. Personally I also think this kind of activity should itself be an optional part of our timelines, that we should be able to publicly or privately do these actions, as we see fit. Moderation is all individual right now, blocks are private activities, and starting to stake ourselves in, make our personal moderations part of the public discourse seems like a necessary next jump. At this point I don't think anyone ever reviews their moderations, who they block. But I want to see a path for social media to eventually become a little more redemptive, where we a couple years down the road we might possibly be willing to try again. Structurally, right now, the whole moderation system is opaque as fuck, there's no real trace of what happened, there's no ability to reconsider at all. It's weird having a big log of shared internet history where the most important factors are not logged, have no record. I don't think twitter is an echo chamber. I think it's badass & wide ranging & we engage in huge wild globe-spanning conversation in the exact opposite of echo chambers. But I do think it's cruel & merciless & that these proprietary social networks are cold & hard structurally, & that they refuse to allow a more real story & more real engagement & accounting to happen, systematically. They keep an amazing record, but also are radical extremists blowing up some of the most important parts of the record, deny much of the most core & vital history they create. Moderation should have the option to be part of the network: right now that is blanketly denied.
