Hey, that's the Mastodon model! Relatively small independent servers with own admin/moderator teams responsible only for their own servers. That's scalable moderation.

Aren't those more like a maintenance team? While they are moderators, keep the server running and use it themselves, they don't specifically responsible for the posts on their server.

Mastodon has moderation tools[1] that allow administrators of a server to restrict not just users on their own server, but also how other users in the Fediverse can interact with their users. Users can also report content.
