I wonder if we can get mainstream media attention if the journalists will see the amount of crap people get…
I mean, not "someone has posted", but a web app that allows people to post the threatening, harassing, trolling, offensive comments and emails they get. With statistics, of course. For email, just select everything and forward.
For filtering, how about a voting system that'll count votes from users logged in with Dreamwidth OpenIDs as 10? Or does anyone who's here really want to specifically read the shit other people get and decide if it's really offensive?
Of course, most assholes won't stop being assholes after seeing an article about what they're doing in a newspaper (or just the content itself). But this can do good. Like, I don't know, parents paying more attention to making sure their children aren't misogynist/homophobic/transphobic/racist? People who aren't actively harassing anyone (thinking that being gay is unnatural, not respecting women enough, trying to avoid black people, whatever) becoming allies, or at least just understanding these people don't deserve it?
