Not if they were given the same power i.e. moderation tools that Twitter et al have behind the scenes.

Why can't I, for example, set a filter that removes bots based on some confidence value? Or that orders my feeds in the order of my choosing?

Right now I have to use ridiculously blunt instruments and trust in moderation that is well known to be biased and, frankly, useless.




Fair points, but I would argue you aren't describing decentralized moderation so much as centralized moderation tools being made available to users in a transparent way. Which sounds good to me.
