This is really a difficult question, however I’m leaning to a decentralized way of moderation. A centralized moderation or a third party moderator is the same as the large social media networks. We should not want to start with a general set of rules, because since they’re general rules means they’re not specific, abstract and vague and thus open for everyone’s interpretation. Same applies for general agreements or whatever term you hang on it. You can start with specific rules that are really impactful and 99% everyone agrees on. Such as: - no spamming or links - no farming or links - no malware links etc Regarding bots and paid content: Let them be tagged with clear description and let then the user to decide whether he wants to see their content or even follow them. Let the user itself decide what to see, let them use their tools that fit their own need. Better yet: let users create groups, add the users to the group they see as trustworthy or for whatever reason. Other people can then use that group and follow the users therein and modify it to their liking. This way you’re building a decentralized based trust of people and at the same time shielding yourself away from the other users you see as bad content or bot or whatever. Nobody gets banned or shadowbanned and Nostr stays open for everyone to use. You will have gated communities where trusted people can interact with each other but for no one to see unless they’re in the group. This is the best decentralized way of ‘moderation’ in my opinion.
