Replying to myself because maybe there's a startup idea in the above comment: convince one or more of the the big social platforms to let users opt out of default moderation, and "subscribe" to thirdy party moderation. (Moderation-as-a-Service?)

This would open up a market similar to how you can use different spam reputation services with email, or different blocklists with ad filters.

It would also take the wind out of the sails of people blasting the social media companies for over- or under-moderation. Don't like what's being censored? Hire a different set of censors.
