I've been thinking a lot lately about decentralized moderation.

All we need to do is replace the word "moderate" with "curate". Everything else is an attestation.

We don't really need a blockchain, either. Attestations can be asserted by a web of trust. Simply choose a curator (or collection of curators) to trust, and you're done.

Yeah, blockchain is not needed at all. A computer savvy sheriff might do it, an official person of some kind. Or even private companies, see also "Fido alliance".

Additionally the map of governments which accept Esthonian passport might be of some relevancy here[1].
