Incidentally, manual moderation is much easier to do on a federated network where each individual instance doesn’t grow huge. Some people complaining that Lemmy isn’t growing to the size of Reddit, but I see that as a feature myself. Smaller communities tend to be far more interesting and are much easier to moderate than giant sites.
In my imagination, some sort of referral/voucher system might work. A invites B, B invites C. C turns out to suck. Ban C, discredit B heavily and discredit A lightly. Enough discredit and you get banned or can’t invite more people.
manual moderation, and there are some moderation bots that can detect spam.
