No I think you misunderstood the requirement. A client-selected moderation option isn’t sufficient, nor is a client-software-specific one. A repo forge is our place of work. People will (and have) taken the fact that allow anyone to comment as a free pass to harass people, throw baseless accusations, and generally be disruptive. They can of course go do that on social media but we can’t have our place of work disrupted by people using it as a bulletin board to shit on us. Having the ability to hide it for ourselves doesn’t suffice - when anyone else looks at our work and sees a stream of “pedos!” and “compromised!” conspiracy theory nonsense that makes it our problem. A nostr-based solution where every client hides crap that we removed would be fine, but I assume it’s quite likely clients would be built that would ignore such moderation and we’d be back to square one.
