This always runs the risk of diverting your attention too much by implementing too many features but, if done, can offer a good avenue of experimentation. This is kind of the best of both worlds.

If the unmoderated subs become a cesspool, we know moderation is needed. If they flourish, we know moderation isn't. This also gives a testing ground for other "economic policies" to iterate through features that will mitigate problems that come up.

Thanks for the update!

Update on the moderation point. I've been discussing with some folks in Pleb Lab, and it might be that we make substack moderation opt-in upon creation, ie some subs will be moderated and other won't. Users will decide. I think this is The Way.
