Idk if federated alternatives are to reach critical mass we would need instances that have a clear set of rules, that you could challenge if a moderator applied them unfairly, and even opted for a trial amongst your peers for if it was against the rules. Allowing moderators to be Petty tyrants in a feudalistic system attracts the wrong people that will prevent the fedivers from achieving it’s destined Glory.
Likewise moderators found to be abusing their power should have some means of correcting their behavior or removing them. Other moderators cannot be trusted for this, they all protect each other’s rights to be dicks so they can be dicks. We need a better system set up better to start.
