P2P allows for a fairly unexplored infrastructure for content moderation. In this app, the feed of images would only be from people you connect to. For people to connect to you, you have to share a crypto random id.

As a webapp you can clear the site data by logging out. Basically, people cannot randomly connect to you and share things you don't like.

I won't be adding anything like a global feed. Only content that you shared or received.

This doesn't remove the risk of people sending you things you don't like so I'm all ears for an approach to that. I didn't make much progress on the following. If there are any hard features you think would help, let me know. I'd like to make some time to create a "block contact" but it'll take time and consideration to do it properly (so I don't expect it soon). Things like logging out and being able to backup your profile might be enough, but not as user-friendly as it could be.
