Hi
I am looking for projects of links agregators or micro blogs, that don’t rely on centralized servers and especially no mods. I’ve had it with mod’s power trips. and how personal biases affect heavy moderation.
I want to try something with no governance, maybe p2p, and with better transparency than lemmy.

You can’t escape moderation and censorship in lemmy. If a moderator of a certain big community has a certain heavy bias towards a subject and moderates accordingly. you are just bared from such discussions. communities suffer from the same network effects as social media do. I can take heat and shitty people but I can’t stand silencing.
I might check nostr. is it app relient ??

Do you need to pay for those relays, or register with those relays like you to on lemmy to be able to post ?
can you move your account from one relay to another ?
Are ther modded communities or subreddits like they are on lemmy ?
Do you need an app to be constantly connected in the background like briar messenger or all content is hosted on the relays?

I’m not sure, but in my opinion, moderation is necessary. Any network without moderation will be flooded with Nazis and pedophiles. I don’t think you’ll have a good time.

Sounds an awful lot like you’re trying to find illegal shit and have plausible deniability that “that’s not what I was looking for, officer! I swear! Someone just posted it on their own!”
According to your handle, it might be you who is intersted in that sort of shit, but you are instead reflecting it on others.
Host your own fediverse (Lemmy/Mastodon) instance. See who defederates from you.
No this federation experiment is at the end for me.
I don’t believe in the federation model anymore. I was looking for a p2p protocol like a big bitorrent swarm, something more decentralized where no one has power over the discussions. I want to filter the content I want to consume. I dont’t need someone else to decide what I should or should not read. I was hoping for an open network where every node have the same leverage and you only mod your own feed.
So basically, you don’t want people to be able to defederate from you?
No I want people to be able to block my post just as I can block other people’s posts, but I don’t need a moderator to block either my posts or other people’s posts to be seen by everybody else engaging in that discussion, thread, theme, hashtag, what ever you name it.
When blocking is done at an individual level it doesn’t silence or shutdown views or ideas from the discussions, every individual is free to not engage with people or ideas they don’t agree with, but they shouldn’t have the power to block those ideas for everybody else.
Create your own Lemmy community on your own instance then.
You kinda intentionally ignoring my point, I was asking for suggestion of different models, even different protocols if they exist. not instance - community - moderation based ones.
But you could accomplish your goal by just starting your own instance and then refusing to moderate content on it - sure, yourinstance/c/news might not get as much activity (or maybe it will take off) but you can’t force people who prefer to have moderation to play in your sandbox. You don’t need a new technology, lemmy can do what you want just fine - you can even refuse federation!
Give it a shot, try running an instance and see the difficulties in dealing with open nazis and bots.
