@vkc I wonder if a white-list approach could work? As in, you can mark specific users as "allowed to reply", and anyone not marked as such cannot. This way, you could cultivate your own circle of people you trust, so people like you, who get way more abuse than most of us can imagine, could still get some of the benefits of having a social presence and interaction online.

Of course, the downside is that it puts the onus of being safe online on the vicitim. Certainly not a perfect solution.

@thomholwerda @vkc One of the things that worries me about reply whitelists is how it can give people false impressions about what people think of a post, because only certain people can reply. This would be used for spreading propaganda.
Unless, of course, below the post it says that replies are restricted to certain people, like Twitter. That might work, I suppose.
