Agruably, these mechanisms don't reveal the big picture to the society (i.e.
what people think about someone's *public* message), thus they would hardly
be classified as pretty much social.

I don't see how you can consider gathering message voting data and exposing
the results to the society as not being social, but near-totally technical
one. That just helps sorting out and revealing society own's data and overall
position.
