The problem with moderation is that it's inherently hierarchical. Moderation is all about special people deciding what is and isn't said. You can't stop the signal without controlling the network. My idea is to replace moderation with curation. Anyone can share an attestation about what category a peice of media belongs to. Attestations are backed by the authenticity of whoever makes them: a web of trust. The hard problem is ambiguous metadata: you can express a given attestation in many ways, but can only parse it in one context. For example, you can filter out all media that is attested to be purple, but that won't stop you from seeing violet. I have an idea for this too, but it's even more out there.
