“Decentralised Moderation” is censorship, as you never know who is making decisions on your behalf.
In contrast, if a relay you join has moderation terms defined, and a list of public moderators (or even private if you don’t care) - that is completely fine. That’s opt-in transparent moderation.
If I join a moderated Nostr group/channel (when we have better moderation tools in future) - not a problem. You dislike the moderation, start your own Nostr group/channel.
And if I follow someone or follow a list or feed of content, that’s curation. Again, 100% fine for that data source and curator to pick what to include.
