I think the biggest problem is that there is no technical difference between moderation and censorship. If you design a system so it can be used to suppress some types of bad content, those same tools can be used to suppress any other type of content. Even the threat of having one's posts suppressed can have a chilling effect. I don't want to make claims about slippery slopes- the threat of moderation is often the only thing that keeps online forums from turning into a sewer- but I can understand why someone would see tools for centralized moderation as a big enough danger to deliberately avoid including them.
A very interesting side of this is that restricting the reach of comments also makes something like Scuttlebutt difficult to surveil. There simply isn't some kind of global state that anyone can easily look at to see everything that's happening. Someone who wants to see everything will either need to infiltrate many different social circles or intercept messages. That's not to say a powerful nation state that really wanted to couldn't infiltrate well enough to see what's going on, but it would definitely be a lot harder than with a standard social media format where there's a central store that contains everything.
