it’s like reddit, each community has a creator, the creator has the ability to assign mods, the mods can ban people they dont like.

what’s different from reddit is that there are no global admins that can ban a community, you cryptographically own your community via public key cryptography. also the global admins can’t ban your favorite client like apollo or rif, as everything is P2P, there is no central API. nobody can even make your client stop working as you’re interacting fully P2P.

P2P is also better than federated, you can’t be banned from an instance for example, only from a specific community.

Right now most subs are whitelist-only (temporary, until the anti-spam tools are being implemented), but you can still create your own sub and set whatever entry challenges you want (captcha, puzzles, etc.).
