MODERATORS
I think it's not ready for mainstream use yet, but seems absolutely promising. This will be the most important, how they will solve this without a central authority. Here in the Fediverse admins are basically this authority, I can't imagine how it could work in a true P2P fashion.
The DHT is basically the wild west - EVERYTHING is on there (but that is also the power of it). Bitmagnet is attempting to overlay some order on it, make it more easily usable, and automatically filter the truly harmful content. Once the core features are more fleshed out, chapter 2 will hopefully look more like a fediverse with curation and moderation. There's still lots to be done but it's getting there!
Exactly. Torrents are popular because of the moderation and curation the indexers perform. It's why it essentially won over purely distributed competitors.
It won't take much to create some fake swarms that make this tool useless.
