Comments need moderation. The blockchain/decentralization ain't great for moderation... And not everything has to be "discoverable" (= have a public database)

  decentralization is totally fine for moderation, it works fine in Mastodon for example, you can moderate out entire instances for a commenting system you could do something nearly identical... each site is its own commenting instance, and you can federate profiles. If a user accumulates bans or flags across instances you could choose to add them to a shared blocklist that other instances can opt-in/out of... it's not too hard to imagine.

  Being decentralized is orthogonal with moderation. You can for example allow people to post to some rooms that represent the blog posts threads, and keep yourself as admin and moderator there. See https://cactus.chat https://cactus.chat, which is on the Matrix network.

  Dunno about blockchain, but decentralized works great. Watch "Decentralized Social Networks vs. the Trolls" on (decentralized) PeerTube: https://conf.tube/videos/watch/d8c8ed69-79f0-4987-bafe-84c01f38f966 https://conf.tube/videos/watch/d8c8ed69-79f0-4987-bafe-84c01...
