Does your design allow nodes to maintain separate contextual channels such that "I get content from a b and c for [topic X]" and "I get content from m n and p for [topic Z]"? In my opinion, any decentralized content/trust system must allow nodes to highly trust a given peer in one context, but strongly distrust the SAME peer in another context.

I agree with your opinion! Very important observation. And to answer your question: Yes it perfectly suited for the kind of curation you mentioned. I went further… while my proof-of-concept has a suggested default content filtering; the hope is that users would design their own filtering algos using the basic primitives: #opengroups #peercuration #hashscore #tags and I left it open so that more such primitives could be invented and integrated. Instead of a “global content consensus” protocol I made a “local normative” protocol model. Not opinionated. Designed to be re-redesigned. #treebit could have bridges to other networks such as Nostr.
