Moderation is usually a dictator or a mob.
On one side, a single moderator deletes posts on a whim and answers to no one. On the other, a brigade decides what stays by sheer volume. Either way the rules are invisible and the decisions are unaccountable.
Lexicon makes the rulebook public and the judge impartial. There is one written code of conduct. Every post is read against it, and a validator set must independently agree on the verdict before anything is published or held back - the Equivalence Principle.
How a post becomes published
- 1
Post
Write your post and submit it to the feed. It enters as pending - visible to no one until it has been judged against the code.
- 2
Moderate
The contract reads your post against the code of conduct, and a validator set independently agrees whether it complies. A real model does the reading.
- 3
Publish
Compliant posts are published to the feed. Non-compliant ones are held back with a written reason. Either outcome is permanent and on-chain.
