"You see, freedom of speech and expression must be absolute." This is a very ignorant take on freedom of speech and a terrible foundation for your project.
"Ignorant" == you can't be bothered to come up with a genuine refutation
Interesting. Have you heard of Aether though? It seems a lot simpler, but achieving the same result. It's a flood network, I believe. https://getaether.net/
Not a big fan of the whole mod election approach though. Seems like it might just turn into a constant scramble for power. Still, the front page does seem to imply mods can only sorta block content so it might not be too bad.

It is an interesting project technically, but I do not think it will replace the *chan model for edgy people to be edgy on the internet. If your opinions are so extreme that you feel that you must be anonymous and free from repercussions, they may be terrible opinions in the eyes of society.
As for the political side... just remember that amoral selfish people with reprehensible values are entitled to the same rights as the rest of us, and we should be applauding their desire to build tools that benefit everyone.
Anyone interested in "building a service no one can silence" ought to start with mesh radio protocols and solar power. Glad this asshole didn't.
