That's how aether works kind of.
It's P2P/decentralised rather than federated.
Anyone can make a community. With enough participation in a community one can become a mod. Mods can be impeached by vote of active participants.
Anyone can see nod actions and anyone can decide to disable the actions of any mod.
I love the system, I was active there before moving to Lemmy. I wish it had taken off/absorbed some of the Reddit fallout rather than Lemmy.
AFAIK it is not maintained or at least updated much less frequently than Lemmy/ActivityPub.
The western world starts treating the US the way we treated Germany during WWII. Only problem is the unelected neolib puppets in charge of most of our country that used to exhibit leadership on the global stage.
