The only 'problem' here is that most communities are proud to abuse their power when it suits them.

Lemmy has the potential to have less mod abuse, but we need communities that don't engage in it.
Right now most mods will abuse power whenever it's convenient or preferable to them.
It's a common trend among these communities.
Just call whoever you disagree with a troll, then you don't have to argue and mods can censor them.

Not really.
You can make your own instance and moderate it better. You can split up power however you want.
