Well the thing is... any classification system like that will be used more by the trolls than the real people so it will be gamed by the trolls to make the non-trolls look like trolls, and then they own the system and thus the website culture.

The real problem is any voting system gets hijacked. That's why we got rid of the downvote. No votes would almost be best... or maybe it just needs to be way harder to create an account, from the moment the website starts.

I don't think there are any real technological solutions to this. What we really need are political solutions.

The human race and the planet itself are going through some extreme labor pains right now. We can only hope it, and its child, survive -- and that that child is not a monster.

I think even more deeply than political solutions, we need cultural solutions. And cultural solutions come about by one person changing the way they think, and then another, and another...

And that's why they use demoralization and ideological subversion directed at culture. The best method at creating an apathetic and ignorant public.

Which at this point legitimately might not happen. :(

Please convince me I'm wrong.

The internet is causing a massive waking up that's equal in size to the propagandizing effect it's having, so there's reason to be hopeful.

I would like a list of "SHILLS" and "TROLLS" and "Delirious opinions" as well as "opposing views". By this I mean personal lists. I would love to tag somebody as SHILL and follow his posts around and verify that they are, one way or another. And "Opposing views" people for when I feel like arguing. And of course "Friends" can stay for comfy cozy sharing of info.

Wishing is fine and dandy but it's work and you're busy, so I never talked about it before.

It would be cool if there was a site like saidit but somehow federated on the user level, so users could decide what other users to associate or not associate with.

I like this site the way it is. I want to talk to (well, almost) everybody. Some to argue with and demonstrate how they are wrong, others to agree with, and yet others to help inform me.
