Agree! Chatter Net is built to be self-moderating. The currently implementation (conversely.social) isn't fully using this yet.
From the user point of view, the idea is simple: you receive messages only from people you follow. As people in your network emit "view" messages (about other posts), those posts will make it to your inbox. It's a sort gossip mechanism.
There's another side to this coin: as a server administrator you might not want to host arbitrary content. So a server is free to filter content using any rules. The simplest of which would be to allow content only from trusted accounts.
A user is free to connect to any server, and if that server accepts their content, this is how they can send messages. A server is free to server only the information it wants to share. A user should be connected to multiple servers, and these can change session-to-session.
This is meant to be transparent to the user, you just go any site that delivers the front-end which can run a Chatter Net node, and that node will listen to what servers others are connecting to, and connect to those servers.
The hope is that communities will form around certain servers / moderation styles. But ultimately, the user chooses what they consume.
