I may be mistaken, but i think there's just no way to force a "global" moderation policy on the fediverse, because of the decentralized way it's constructed?
To force something like that would need to deviate from the open protocol, and people can always choose to not adopt those modifications.

As I've theorized before global moderation would take the form of whitelisting. They'll make an approved network and they'll extend that network to those that follow their blocklists and/or fedi social credit.
Twitter already has the reddit downvote, EU wanted that for fedi. Fedi social credit could be used to enforce global moderation policy by forcing instances to moderate in a certain way.
One could say it doesn't matter because these instances were gonna block us anyway so nobody has to bend the knee to them. But it does matter if someone wants to make an instance but all they know is "mastodon=fedi". You can see it in the coverage of fedi right now, Pleroma/misskey is not mentioned. Lack of knowledge will cut into people wanting to break out of the censorship spiral, which is what "they" want.

@LukeAlmighty @zemichi if someone is free of mind, he will eventually look for the light in the sea of darkness, otherwise, he will always lurk.

This part about the coverage is very true, the few people I know that created accounts on fedi recently did so an a leftist mastodon instance not because they agree with them, but because they didn't know any better. Even for myself, I only found out about pleroma when I saw an article calling the people here nazi weebs when I was searching for an anime-related mastodon instance

mastodon had previously worked on authorized fetches and servers signing messages. one of the side uses of such things is verifying messages originated from whoever controls the keys (this was used before to verify emails journos had stolen, since the DKIM signatures could be matched to google)
there are ways but i don't think they would solve anything
