i hardly hear talk in my timeline about the direction twitter chose not to go in, given the premise of special status of some people. what would be different if people who had special status were held to *stricter* standards rather than looser ones?
if the rules behind someone being verified include that the user be famous in their own right off-platform, then presumably they should be able to get their fringe/violent/dangerous content out on some other platform. these people should be the *least* destabilized by suspension
i realize moving this piece around shifts a lot of other things around, but it's a suggestion i can't remember even seeing. twitter & in particular jack set the course of the discussion in such a way that this kind of idea didn't even occur to me, despite it not being that clever
maybe it's been considered and rejected for good reasons, but this thought has been knocking around in my head for a bit
