Technically, isn't there an option in IPv4 for actual "one-to-many" broadcasting ? (Is there in IPv6 ?)

You're talking about Multicast, which does not work over the public Internet.

Yeah, I wasn't really talking about that sort of thing. Just trying to speculate on how you could build a platform that supported user-generated content and resolved the difficulties and bias inherent in moderation mechanisms -- a vibrant digital public square that wasn't overwhelmed by bad-actors.

Any moderation system is going to have inherent bias whether it's humans moderating manually or an algorithm.

Any system for publicly posting messages that isn't moderated will be overwhelmed by bad actors, since bad actors will nearly always be kicked off of moderated platforms.

Yeah, bad actors, starting with spam. Even 4chan has moderation !
