I mean... do _you_ have any ideas about how to fix this sort of thing that would survive being published for the world to see?

I don't mean to offend you or anything, I just want to point out that the second you go public with your rules about how these things are detected, the people you are targeting will adjust their behavior to evade them.

I think that the secrecy is unfortunately a hard requirement until perhaps we could all coordinate into a global "behavioral score" system. And to be honest, that sort of shit is terrifying, so we should probably never do it.

I would try to come up with a rule-based system that actually detects the bad behavior they don't want to have. Of course, people are then free to circumvent that system by not behaving badly.

This is pretty much the equivalent of “I would try to make a rocket that just lands on Mars instead of crashing”. All I gotta do is make it take off instead of not taking off.

Sure:

  X chronological
  X only what your friends share

I'm curious how things look for people who are only friends with people of their extreme political persuasion and only likes/follows similarly extreme pages? Does giving some variety of relatively less extreme viewpoints cause a reduction extreme viewpoints?

This is certainly a desirable change from a user perspective. However, the issue under discussion is coordinated abuse by a group against some entity. I don't see how this addresses that.

How do I keep my friends from sharing means. There are a lot of them.

No I fully agree, which is why I made a mention of security through obscurity.

However, I will make the case that something of this magnitude should be available to the public.
