  Question is, is there anyone that is even suggesting to build a moderation tool for, for example, Mastodon, aimed at this specific need?

    Right now the moderation tools available appear to be on the level of “thog bang rock on other rock - make smaller rock, easy to eat” and efforts are primarily aimed at introducing Thog to the concept of fire so he can at least cook his rocks.

    The few automoderators I’ve seen attempted have been “ban you over a couple downvotes” bad, so AI content moderation seems like it may be a bit ambitious right now. It’s a good idea, but more work needs to be done before we’re at the point it’s feasible to start working on it.

    I’m not talking about usability, just about the foundation. Besides what others already said about why it’s not a good idea to answer your specific question regarij moderation tooling is:

    Your requirements are incompatible with decentralization. Every moderation tool will have to use the network itself which means a moderation event has a significant delay in which the content has a “head start”.

    There is no way to have an instant kill switch for content or a centralized gated release of content.

    And at the end everyone can spin up an instance and decide on moderation, after all - and decide on the moderation rules there. This will cause an even bigger delay until the malicious instance is blacklisted by others.

    Moderation is the wrong answer. White listing is the right answer.
