Someone created a Usenet-like thing on IPFS. https://github.com/mrusme/superhighway84
It's kind of dead. IIRC the dev put that on the back burner in favor of a new BBS-like app. https://github.com/mrusme/neonmodem

The issue with moderation is that not everyone agrees. Moderation should be plug-in and multilayer. Everyone should be able to choose which moderation they trust or distrust.
Full p2p is technically complicated and does not work well for small devices not always connected, we should keep servers to host the discussions.
The servers should be able to subscribe to a moderation. You don't want to host a discussion illegal in your country gor example. Users should also be able to move servers painlessly. If the users trust their servers with their identity, it does not need to use crypto for user identity. On your profile page on a server you can link other servers identity and that's enough and simpler.
If a discussion group is private, it should only be hosted in servers of their members and not elsewhere.
I started working on such a system https://github.com/mildred/nimnews but beyond the technical stuff I have no idea how this could gain adoption.
