Moderation tools exist for nostr relays already. You can blacklist/whitelist by kinds, pubkeys etc. and use all sorts of web of trust based moderation as well.
#WoT based moderation can be personalized so you can moderate even on an individual basis, seeing only those ppl you actually trust. WoT providers are also in progress to help in these kind of decisions.
Current efforts are spearheaded by the nosfabrica (nprofile…lh4w) team
