Yeah, you could keep usual moderators as the basis and ultimate arbiters, but it would be, at the very least, interesting to try your approach. E.g., anyone can check the mod queue and be randomly assigned to moderate a recently reported post, and to avoid abuse or mistakes it could require 2 or 3 people agreeing on how to resolve something.
Community sourced moderation seems sooo in line with Fediverse ideals! And would probably go a long way avoiding mod burnout and avoid cases like lemm.ee’s
I would also like to see most moderation actions, be a filter applied client side and under full control of the user. Moderation becomes a “default view” of the consensus, that users are not forced to abide.
After that, we can have client side ability to ignore certain user’s moderation action based on their account history and history of reliable judgment and the user could decide how much weight to give to various actors in the ecosystem
