I think having a handful of trusted moderators to have a higher level access to nuke posts, or see notices for posts with a high downvote:upvote ratio so they can nuke as an option...

Aside from that, the voting system X uses for community notes is pretty neat and something similar could work as well.

I've spent a bit of time on this as well... wanting to spin up a modern BBS and thinking maybe just a TUI over SSH might be enough to get something interesting without opening up to the heavy spam bots.
