Not every person can handle the responsibility of the power to push any content to anyone and everyone, thus mods were born out of necessity. Without them the communities you like would be spammed with at best AI scams begging for money and at worst CSAM so as to make it unusable by the people who disagree with your community.
However, you’re 100% able to buy your own hardware, launch your own instance, and start your own community, just as everyone else is.

No. Mods were born out of corporate and political interest to control mass media. Nothing more. Mods are there to convert digital spaces to align with their interest. They’re there to prevent people from actually forming another Egyptian spring, wiki leaks, anonymous or anything that could disrupt the current power structure.

How would you handle the CSAM issue though?
Few years ago it was an issue since someone spammed CSAM that it got federated to multiple servers and it took concentrated effort from community mods and instance admins to solve the issue.

Automation plus mods are there to handle CSAM. Mods should be a nuclear option. They’re not there to uphold an ever growing list of vague rules like cops who arrest and beat citizens for “resisting arrest”.
