Can this be summarized as "Twitter, implement censorship because people are saying things we don't like?"

Yes, basically. OP apparently also thinks that what constitutes community is a central authority handing out badges.

the company should issue badges of status or of shame based on signals about how people actually use, or abuse, Twitter. In other words, Twitter should begin to think of itself, and its users, as a community

And believes that Facebook or Linkedin profiles are markers of online reputation.

These people (he's not alone) are watching their authority eroding and believe that it could be stopped with another status symbol. Doubtful.

Aside, which online communities has Anil Dash created?

There was an entire startup built around social media profile reputation, called Klout. It's possible for some people to earn decent lifestyle incomes from social media, although this usually means Instagram.
