Both ZeroNet and Freenet have decentralized forums. Freenet's forum is called FMS. They have decentralized microblogging too - ZeroMe on ZeroNet and Sone on Freenet. This is a post I wrote about ZeroNet's decentralized microblogging: https://bluishcoder.co.nz/2017/10/12/zerome-decentralized-mi...

Moderation is a must, unfortunately. Matters of trust make it difficult to run code on the users' computers, even if NAT and so forth didn't get in the way.

I like the vision of decentralized computing, but I'm afraid it'll be at minimum very inefficient, and possibly infeasible.

ZeroNet has moderation in that site owners can remove posts. Users can self moderate via mute/block.

Freenet's FMS allows moderation using a web of trust. You provide trust to users pseudo-anonymous identities. And you can choose to trust who they trust. Trust scores are computed and any identity below a level will not be seen by your identity.

Freenet's Sone has similar functionality using a web of trust plugin (FMS has its own trust implementation) that can be used by other plugins.
