Dan simply adds a bit of corrective force in a few areas as appropriate to keep everything happy. Twitter is a bunch of pigs wallowing in a pit of mud by comparison. You could put a million dangs in there and they would still wind up as muddy as everyone else at the end of the day. Making twitter less crap likely requires some orbital bombardment analogies.

People would cluster themselves into groups with consistent values and you would just need some moderators for minor adjustments.
