If AT was distributed using a signed hash message protocol combined with a simple replication strategy (perhaps only replicating a friend and the friends friends) to spread those posts out between their PDSes this burden of moderation would fall less upon the shoulders of their main PDS.
As always I refer the conversion to the ssb API documentation[1] for an example of how AT could have been made.
