What about implementing a trust-based system, where content aligns with different brands, schools of thought, and value systems? It can revolutionize how we view information. This approach could negate the need for censorship, allowing users to filter content based on their trust in specific brands or ideologies. It's a way to personalize content while maintaining a broad spectrum of views and reducing the impact of bias, spam or of stupid contributions.
You will need to implement some sort of censorship system, even if only to remove the outright illegal stuff.
Also there’s stuff like doxxing where there’s no point filtering it out with an optional filter — either your site filters it out centrally, or there’s no point.
Having said that — I’m fully on board with being able to opt in to more aggressive anti spam and anti rudeness settings, although I’d question why they weren’t enabled by default.
