Hey, great project! I love it! 💚

I was just pondering a bit: If we deploy this in "the real world" with real random people ... then it would probably need moderation. This is probably not as easy in our resource constrained environment. Hence I have a first idea for a proof of concept that we could iterate on:

  • use some word list with profanity terms and put it in the DB or just plainly somewhere next to the hosted binary ... it won't change at runtime anyways
  • we simply try to match against any of the words with the Levensthein distance algorithm
    • why? because if we just use plain wordlists, then people will do shit like writing 'A$$hole' instead of 'Asshole'. The levensthein distance will hopefully guard us against these kinds of "attacks"

Actually, I guess moderation is one of the important topics for our communitys goals which is decentralization (and decentralized community) in general. Maybe we could even spin a separate crate out of this at some point. But for now it should be enough to have a module here.

Love the idea! I'll maybe look into it when I'm home again
