More thoughts: maybe moderation should be pull-based (pull content you want into the space), rather than filter-based (remove "bad" content). creates better incentives this way: people try to be worthy of getting something in, rather than getting mad if their stuff is removed or they're kicked out.

Well that is what is happening at ruqqus, any sub/guild can pull from general. I think it's a stupid system, but only because much better can be done.

I have discussed this on ruqqus https://ruqqus.com/post/tiz/optional-moderation and a user 1010011010 had some excellent ideas for a tagging system. The basic premise is anyone can tag a post or comment, the tags themselves could describe moderation actions, or categorization etc, I would guess you could take it further that edits and the comments are tags as well. Users can then filter based on tag or who did the tag etc. So anyone is free to moderate by tagging posts or I guess users too. If you are good at moderating or say do it a lot I might use you to filter things. Everything would be public so anyone could audit.

I was going to copy paste the comments from 1010011010 but alas ruqqus is down as usual. I will make a post when it is up.
