Possibly, but the totally chaotic state of notabug is itself temporary.
There will be moderation features, and in many ways they will resemble a more traditional reddit clone:
But somethings are a consequence of the distributed nature. Most prominent being the way votes work and how anyone can vote as much as they want.
Proof of person is not a solved problem:

Until it is, it's not possible to enforce 1 person 1 vote, even in a centralized system really.
The planned moderation features are experimental. Hopefully they turn out to be functional. I personally won't be using them.
Sure, you can't strictly enforce one-person one-vote. Having labelled accounts with content vote limits at least encourages that though. Notabug basically encourages the opposite.

Can you basically describe why this is the case?
First it’s not totally accurate, it’s gated by cpu power but the difficulty is very low.
The reason is because it’s not possible to ensure one person per account without a central authority.
Even with a central authority it’s difficult, see Facebook manipulation.
As the space system progresses though you will be able to have verified/authenticated sets of users more similar to a traditional site, but there aren’t any real precautions against alts.

Assume you mean one account per person? (Preventing one person from having multiple accounts, rather than preventing one account from being used by multiple people.) Alts can't be prevented on these little reddit clones but they still function, those who care enough will be able to cast a few votes instead of one. Once the reward for manipulation gets too high (reddit) you have no real hope of preventing sophisticated efforts.
I don't see why it would be significantly worse for a distributed system. Unless you're just talking about one person signing in on two nodes (without system checks) getting two votes that way... but that's too minor to mention.
