So one of the fundamental differences between GUN and a blockchain is peers don't need to have the same dataset, or to necessarily agree on the state of the world.

The goal with notabug is that you should be able to run a peer with any sort of moderation structure you like including what you describe.

It's already possible with just ui changes to ignore votes entirely. the new sort works this way.

Comments can be sorted by new in this manner as well but isn't exposed in the UI yet.

The filtering you describe will be achievable with the moderation system I plan to build here:

https://notabug.io/t/notabug/comments/ea1104bf0535370d0b27a1...

You would set up a lens with a list of users (public keys) who paid you the verification fee.

You build a space with that lens as the good lens, and lenses for each of your editors to remove or highlight content in other spaces.

I don't know what the best model for online communities is. My vision for notabug.io is to shamelessly clone open source reddit in functionality and UX. But my vision for notabug more generally is as a system for disparate approaches to online forums in a connected system.

The possibilities sound very interesting, specially as an experiment to minimize the damage of social media's capability to be a very powerful, cheap and all-inclusive propaganda tool capable of causing society-wide disruption, and all the state, corporate and pretender political actors interference that come with that kind of threat; the combination of actors with state powers with anonymity making them unnoticed and unaccountable particularly terrify me; I will look into it.
