Has anyone ever investigated moderation by sortition?
Instead of this current system where people have to be recruited to a scary "moderator" role, what if everyone on a server got randomly assigned mod requests on a jury basis of say, 3-9 people?
The current status quo just sets up maintainers for burnout: as your instance grows, so does the free emotional labour you're expected to conduct.
What if instead of this we all agreed to take on this responsibility as part of joining a community?

@kim @andypiper there's been many experiments about that, but ultimately it comes down to a safety thing: you don't want to have $randomPerson reviewing reports of extreme content like CSAM, TVEC, and Gore.
https://bsky.app/profile/rahaeli.bsky.social has discussed this at length recently, but yeah, some moderation work could be handled by a jury of peers, but a lot of other moderation work requires training and trauma care.

@kim Advogato had an interesting trust-based mechanism.

@kim mostly, I'd say: let a thousand flowers bloom. Different instances have different moderation structures, and what you're describing sounds really interesting.

@kim Reddit's upvote/downvote system would probably work, too.

@thisismissem @kim @andypiper I think it's possible to have defence in depth; multiple layers of moderation. Peer moderation can be a helpful addition to dedicated moderators.
I added an issue to track peer moderation options on the AP T&S repo:

il manuale del frigo consiglia di staccare la spina prima di cambiare la lampadina interna
ci sta, metti che non stai attento ti becchi la scossa
ma perché dovrei aspettare 5 minuti prima di cambiare la lampadina e altri 5 minuti, dopo il cambio, prima di riattaccare ❓❓❓

@mfr I've already been to Singapore so that one's out. But Hongkong could be an option as it's literally next to Guangzhou. Why Hongkong though?
For context, if I'd choose Guangzhou I would want to visit Shenzhen, and more importantly, Foshan's furniture factories. The latter because I'm considering starting a custom desk business and it's a great place for inspo and suppliers. But I would have to put some research into it first.
