We have a pull request proposing "NIP-69" as a first step in that process, and have a more general "issue" open on Github discussing the topic more generally. (The links for both are in the link above).

The basic vision is "bottom up" content moderation where communities can moderate what people in their community sees via interconnecting webs of trust relationships. The end user will pick the people/organizations/bots they trust to have a voice in moderating their feed and only reports by those people will be factored in when the user's feed is filtered by a client app.

So for example, I could mark "exosome" as someone to block and he will then go on the block list of everyone who has designated me as trusted moderator of their feed. And he could go on the block list for relays that trust me as a moderator.

These discussions are good, I just thought of how the whole model can be extended…

Everyone is talking about how the client apps will eventually support algorithms that filter users' feeds - pushing some content up in the feed and pushing other content down in the feed. This model can factor into that… So the same events that are used to block content can be used to promote content if they had the ability to endorse as well as suggesting blocks and warnings.

For example, if a fellow Nazi really liked "exosome" he could endorse him and people who trust him would see more of exosome's posts. And to extend things further a user could have reverse trusts lists that basically say "do the opposite of whatever this person says to do" . The possibilities are actually rather interesting.
