People keep bringing up decentralized platforms but there is no indication that won't have the exact same problem. Imagine your node is getting spammed by a high traffic node run by a popular set of users, and then it seems you could easily start to drift towards the same solutions where you have a different set of rules for those nodes. It would be nice if someone could suggest which novel approaches that a decentralized platform could take towards solving this problem. "Decentralization" is commonly brought up as a solution to this but in my experience federated solutions like Mastodon are on the whole, extremely similar to Twitter and Facebook, just done on a smaller scale. Part-time node operators there may be even more likely to apply a double standard because it's a lot easier than trying to act fair and put honest moderation efforts towards a node that is abusing the network and spamming. So if I missed something, please mention it.
