My Plan for Running Twitter

4, Moderation needs to be distributed and crowd sourced. The users should be able to choose to what moderation groups they subscribe to. Anyone can start a moderation group.

This seems similar to filter groups for adblockers. A neat side effect of such groups is that they enable adblocker to be extended beyond its original purpose of blocking ads. For example, through custom blockers I can make common websites less distracting or block websites altogether, enabling an adblocker to be an anti-distraction tool.

I envision a similar utility for layered moderation. Many people use twitter for work and it would be nice to subscribe to a group that filters out content irrelevant to work. Maybe even people struggling with drug addiction would like drug references filtered.

IMO this approach falls short in viability of implementation. Unlike creation of automated filter lists, moderation is not a fun activity that can be crowdsourced. Whereas, making the users pay for each moderation is unlikely to work.
