The DHT is basically the wild west - EVERYTHING is on there (but that is also the power of it). Bitmagnet is attempting to overlay some order on it, make it more easily usable, and automatically filter the truly harmful content. Once the core features are more fleshed out, chapter 2 will hopefully look more like a fediverse with curation and moderation. There's still lots to be done but it's getting there!
