MIT study on deceentralized moderation as a model for countering disinformation:
"This work shows that a decentralized approach to moderation can lead to higher content reliability on social media, says Jahanbakhsh. This approach is also more efficient and scalable than centralized moderation schemes, and may appeal to users who mistrust platforms, she adds."

@EubieDrew He plans on adding the top 2 features from 4.0, editing and translation. But it doesn't track with mastodon releases anymore. @freemo
Looking over the git for this fork (https://git.qoto.org/qoto/qoto), I can see there's no going back. Is this qoto fork used anywhere else? I would think someone might.
