Silo Examples
Facebook has supported safety status posts since 2013?
People or their friends can mark themselves as safe, which creates a "safety status" post on their profile page with its own permalink, like and comment webactions, and comment thread underneath.
Example permalinks (may only be visible to logged in users, and even then, friends of those marked safe)
