I have a few ideas for automated moderation but they are too complex. Vanilla moderation of certain topics will lead to the problems faced by reddit communities today. A community is basically subject to the biases of the moderators.
So if we have Nostr as a topic and the moderators believe in the concept of "grant based funding", what if they filter out all the notes that suggest venture funding?
Hmmmmk .... nostr trying to grow up ...
Perhaps the filters are loose around the word “funding” but restrict unrelated topics.
Id generate a tag cloud of related concepts where anything that mentions that topic is ok in the parent note. Replies could be more relaxed perhaps?
I know it’s not perfect but with enough tweaking and good UI / etiquette you might get to a decent state.
I think the main thing is just to launch this and work through the kinks until it more or less works as intended. No doubt you’d run into interesting dilemmas and edge cases, but that would be a fun challenge .
We should work towards it. Its not the perfect system but with enough iterations and open innovations, we will have a good system.
