On my side, I was thinking more about personal or small community relays. But honestly, even at scale, it’s either a big team of human reviewers or a mix of that and algorithms à la big tech social mefis (and given the current state of things, I’d much prefer to go back to the army of mods).

My take is: give operators the tools and let them decide.

Want to whitelist everyone by default? Fine.

Want to blacklist everybody but yourself by default? Also fine.

Want a moderation queue? Here you go.

Want to be notified about new items to review? No problem, just let me know the level of granularity you want for notifications.

This is what we can do on the relay development side without imposing our own views.
