Legal and financial support, such as grants or free compliance training, could help admins navigate complex rules, while decentralised moderation and peer-to-peer enforcement would reduce the individual burden.

While I also consider decentralized moderation a big win, I think throwing money at this in form of "grants" will enable grant providers to inject political agenda into the training.

It depends on the grant's stipulations. You would have to examine each one on a case by case basis, but I generally agree that we should be wary of the idea "just throw more money at it."
