Have both ways, vouched and unvouched users which are visible separate classes. Posts of unvouched users are always at the bottom and hidden unless clicked upon and upvoted by at least 1-2 vouched users. Unvouched users get a separate class which is established users which is functionally the same as vouched users after hitting some threshold (and honestly if only 2k people are online per day, we could even have a lottery system in which a random draw of the community (like 3 people which don't all have cis-"he" pronouns, and at least 1 user who is active in some transliberation subchapos or so) can look at a user and if the majority say yes, they become established).
My main point: let users do a lot of work, introduce barriers and reduce barriers.
I vibe with your main point and regard a certain level of self-regulation of the userbase as desirable. Not sure about classes though, what with that classless society we all want.
Completely share that view. We should also look for societal solutions for societal problems instead of technological ones. Though I would still use technological solutions to help societal ones. E.g. bright highlights on the ground of where to walk to find the rest room.
Yes. Just like with your affinity groups where people vouch for each other. The alternative is a lot of work moderating. I am for open websites with dank memes, that none the less are community policed.

To become a classless society we have to have tools to keep pinkertons out.
I'm all for tools. They don't have to reify class society to be effective is all I'm saying

This is awful hierarchical.
