“Decentralised Moderation” is censorship, as you never know who is making decisions on your behalf.

In contrast, if a relay you join has moderation terms defined, and a list of public moderators (or even private if you don’t care) - that is completely fine. That’s opt-in transparent moderation.

If I join a moderated Nostr group/channel (when we have better moderation tools in future) - not a problem. You dislike the moderation, start your own Nostr group/channel.

And if I follow someone or follow a list or feed of content, that’s curation. Again, 100% fine for that data source and curator to pick what to include.

Moderation should be done by clients, not relays.

"Decentralized Moderation" would be client software giving you the power to select which filtering rules you would like to apply, and which ones you would like to ignore - you perfectly know how the decisions are made.

These filters could be purely algorithmic (number of likes from people you follow, friends in common, trigger words, you name it), or human-curation like you suggest. You could then mix and match what fit best for you, but you always stay in control.
