With that, single-issue voters, preferably in a form of gangs, get the most power.

I like the idea of iterating on algorithms within small social media niches / segments, like subreddits. The key is that it can be opt-in this way.

But who is going to work on implementing all that, and why? Developer time costs a lot :(

I think this goes too broad, like asking "what if we there was one tool that could be turned into any tool?" Well, it wouldn't really be good at any of them.

We have enough data now to understand how different social media designs affect behavior, we should be able to propose changes to disincentivize certain ones. For example, reputation systems tilt towards well-mannered behavior. It's not perfect, but it's about nudges and pokes to subtly shape culture.

One of the most egregious offenders is still Facebook, whose comment and reply system actively boosts toxic content since the platform is only capable of measuring "engagement." Tons of angry reacts? Straight to the top! And the lack of proper comment threading means that everyone just kind of yells in each other's general direction, with no way to follow anyone's conversation.

That's called Slashdot.
