Coming from experiencing extreme verbal abuse offline, id counter by expressing how even just talking about and repeating forms of verbal abuse is dangerous. Maturing moderation through systems such as Aether (http://www.getaether.com http://www.getaether.com) is going to need free speech to evolve systems to filter freely. Social media support group systems struggle with talking about trouble directly because we're waging war on words, when we still need to start addressing battles.

I am totally onboard with better self-moderation tools; I'm a proud user of BlockTogether and theBlockBot, they've made Twitter almost 100% more pleasant to use than it was before. I've even had some ideas myself on apps that might provide better platforms for some, I just haven't got the chops to pull it off yet. In particular I think we need more platforms that allow public address without the implicit expectation that doing so makes you open season for every anonymous troll on the internet. I think that services as well can do a better job turning all this 'big data science' to problems like this; it doesn't take a genius to realize that if a Twitter account pops up with no followers and its first few dozen messages are all loaded with invective and little else, maybe that account wasn't made in good faith.

  Committing ignorance can be read as trolling and dangerous, so problem-solving by forcing a win-lose memory process, ends by repressing asking to account for any deeper empathic accuracy of a real stable log. What genius is let go is if we can design a system that lets users filter, and share filters, without categorically/deleteriously removing parts of people's real life data we have trouble with. If we want to wholly deal with safety, sanity, abuse, pain, and words we equate power to record, we need to be able to read and write by sorting with due diligence enough to keep every end together, every bit of speech a turn worthy of ID, and then let users tool ways to filter, tag, label, and identify problems openly.
