Spent most of my time today organizing reading on P2P systems, reputation/trust systems (heavy overlap with P2P as most of the digitized trust research is in this area), and historical posts from moderators (dang, cmdrtaco, kuro5hin members).
Does it mean you think to bring it in on Stacker.news?

Which part? I'm definitely looking into decentralizing SN. The biggest unsolved part IMHO, the part that leads us to not have great decentralized social media, is incentives:
  1. incentives to not spam
  2. incentives to make data available (relay)
We already have a reputation system, e.g. a simple WoT system. I'm just looking for ways to continue to improve it.
As far as moderation, I'm mostly trying to figure out why these older communities introduced such heavy handed moderation and how they attempted to deal with it, etc ... all just research and intuition building.

Maybe equate sats stacked from other users to sort of "karma". I didn't mean decentralization. I think SN is good enough without it.
