Digital ownership

But not in the way you think.

I haven't spoken in a while about my core idea for floof, and it's sort of gelled a bit, so I want to try to express it again. It's not about anything technological, really; nor is it just about categorization (though that's always awesome).

What I really want to do is strip out all the contrived areas of private

so yeah, have I mentioned I'd basically use the shit out of this as you have pretty much the same ideas as I would implement and have occasionally tried to codify in the past, but for an atrophying programming ability

Brilliant AND crazy. Really, nothing else comes to mind at the moment that allows me to express, but frankly, those two words work well here.

The brilliant part is taking away underhand gimmicks, even if it does create more 'open drama'.
The crazy part is... if those ignore features and everything else doesn't start to be used as you intend, the system could take a whole different turn. It's dangerous to do if you don't plan ahead for multiple possibilities, or however these sorts of things go down.

Whether or not I make a damn bit of sense, I'm with you on this. No joke. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

valence

my level of agreement on the topics on a scale of 1 to 5 (5 being most agree)

1. 4 (because of the way its worded)
2. 5
3. 4 (comment hiding is pretty dumb)
4. 3
5. 5
6. 3
7. 3

I am really gratified at the overlap in our ideas - I absolutely need to put code into a shape where I can pitch it at you. There is interesting social-graph stuff here.

Related: twitter! Who decides what shows up in your incoming-tweets stream? You do (except for new-style retweets, which are stupid and bad).

dA's modding system has become really fail. A year or two ago a musim friend of mine commented on a happy "I am proud to be a musim girl" stamp and this guy comes along and attacks her for it. She makes a journal talking about it and the guy comes to her page and attacks every single one of the people who comment in support on the journal with lots of anti-muslim propaganda. He actually went so far as to send me email and IMs harassing me for having a muslim friend.

dA never banned this guy.

I do however like the ignore idea as it makes shit harder for trolls since you can't egg people on if they can't see your comments, unfortunately there would still need to be some sort of hide feature to hide idiots spamming you with hate propaganda and shit since mods will not ban them for it :/
They might make and ignore feature for dA but modding? That takes continuous effort!

I think I'd rather have to exert the continuous effort (or find people to do it for me B)...) than rely on thousands of people to each individually block someone who's being a dickhole.

That is because you are not stupid and lazy, dA unfortunately is. All they care about now is ad revenue.
