masses.

With a cesspool of like minded turkeys on X, X will be boring, and
then implodes.

Bluesky will be similar. Just different set of turkeys.

We need to start a campaign; let's try and get people to dump
online social media and come to Usenet instead!
I'm in!!!
Then it would become unmanageable!

Be careful what you wish for, you might get it. ;)
I think the current usenet is a very convenient size. Imagine
if 1000 people like me would join this group. Then it would
become unmanageable!

Well, 1000 is maybe a bit optimistic... :-)

Years ago, there were moderated newsgroups.

Bulls in the X closet will tire of hearing echoes, and when they come
to realize their Pied Piper pissed on them again, they will move on to
other activities.
Bluesky meanwhile, has taken in civilized blue/red herds, who respect
laws.

But that assumes someone wants to do it. Btw, how does it work?

Doubt it. But we will see! If you are wrong, will you buy me a beer?

Would have to be approved via those who use a given newsgroup,
moderator would have to have software to do it, and get approval from
a News Service Provider
That said, consider what Big-8, a News Service Provider, says on this
topic:
Policy in the Big-8
The board is on record as opposed to changed unmoderated groups to moderated in the Big-8. In view of the problems of making such changes
(which are technically feasible), the benefits of changing a group's moderation status do not seem to be worth the costs involved.
Please note well: The Big-8, despite its name, is only a small
subset of Usenet. The Board only makes policy for the Big-8. Other hierarchies have their own policies.

The question of beer remains!

Ahh... ok, so a news provider needs to be in on it. Makes sense.
Not quite (I hope I get this right...)
Any newsserver that wants to may carry a moderated goup. The posting machinery is arranged so that articles posted to the moderated group are first forwarded by email to a team of moderators appointed by that
particular newsgroup. I think (I'm not sure) that articles for posting
may also be sent directly to the moderators by email instead.
The moderators will approve or reject those articles according to
criteria set by the users of that newsgroup. If approved, the article
is then posted to one of the newsservers that carries that group and it
then propagates in the normal way.
It's common for well-behaved posters to be included on a whitelist so
that they can bypass the approval process. This reduces the load on the moderators. New members of the group will usually serve a probationary period before being whitelisted. There will generally be some means of notifying the author of a rejected article the reason for rejection,
usually by email or sometimes on a web-page.

Really makes you think.
