I think the primary hazard to focus on is one vs many. The major danger of moderation is when you can't opt out.

I would argue they're not quite the same here, because 3rd-party delegation can be revoked at any time, limiting the damage.

> any meaningful decentralization will do away with moderation

Perhaps if LLMs get way better than they currently are.

Otherwise, there's too many things to do in a day to make every possible decision in life yourself, so optional, revocable delegation feels like an acceptable compromise to me.

There's many cases where we just rely on others. Do you personally check all your lettuce for e.coli? Did you check your outlets for proper grounding? Did you examine your medications with a mass spectrometer to verify the chemical composition was correct? No, we rely on institutions, fallible as they are, because there's only so many hours in the day.
