    This sounds interesting, but how do you plan on stopping illegal content being stored on users devices? If there is any chance a user could unknowingly be hosting illegal content that could lead to some very big issues.

      Still working on that, but I have some ideas:

      • text only - images, videos, and other binary content must be stored elsewhere (could still have links though)
      • data is stored encrypted (user option) - wouldn’t show up in scans
      • clear separation between “stuff I’m interested in” and “random stuff I’m hosting for the network” - plausible deniability
      • perhaps an option to opt out of random data storage - you’d still store stuff you’re interested in

      But yeah, that’s a huge part of why I’m unwilling to share the code until I’m comfortable with the moderation engine. I think there’s an opportunity to use that moderation engine to reduce storage of CSAM (i.e. don’t store data from blocked users).
