Hacker news is pretty well regulated though in that bad comments are voted down now retweeted to more people.

I think for it to work people would have to start blocking more and using more mute words.

The thing where someone retweets something horrible because they disagree with it is so wrong and is what is being badly gamed.

Yes, that is a bizarre thing about Twitter. And it's a huge part of why I don't like it.

It's funny. For all that I support free speech, I don't have the patience to read much of it. So I end up gravitating to well moderated forums.
