That is a hard question. I've been giving it some thought since I posted that comment. I don't think moderation is a good idea and I would rather have the open market dictate the posts that float to the top. I think the current system works for filtering low-effort spam and I would like it to continue that way.
One reason why I dislike reddit is that its structure is conducive in creating echo chambers where the "most popular" opinion for that particular subreddit floats to the top and any dissenting or controversial ones fade into their own small bubbles.
The idea that I'm thinking at the moment is to not let the amount of stacked sats dictate the position of a post in any shape or form and only sort posts by their most recent activity. Clicking that lightning button should just be a form of "Thank you for your contribution to the discussion"-kind of thing and anti-spam. That way, people will not game the system for profit.
