I don’t like fediverse architecture, I’d rather have moderation to be subscription-based (like you sub to a hide/banlist), to separate the concerns. Ofc platform admins should still have rights to ban those who try to destroy the communication itself, like posting 10k messages a thread etc.
I don’t care much about it in lemmy cause idgaf about my account here, I could create a new one and no value is lost. However, if account itself and people subscribing to you is valuable, this tech sucks.
The same person who creates a niche instance/community, is often ideal for moderating it. The fostering of a community around a given subject (not people) is what motivates volunteer maintenance of said community.
What’s the incentive for your subscription banlist maintainers? How would communities form in such a system?
You say community as if it’s not just an access point to the federation.

Show the amount of subs on the moderation stream - topN can be proud of themselves. Can ask for donations too I guess.
how would communities form
I imagine some space for moderation of specific subjects would emerge, like you don’t want to see nazies = you run nazi-block list & check out others lists. Moderation could be thematic and specific.
You seem to be confusing my use of the word community with lemmy terminology. I am using it both as that, and as its dictionary definition.
Bragging rights and money are not healthy motivators. You’d be replacing personal interest, in the subject at hand. That puts every other potential motivator to shame.
Moderation could be thematic and specific.
It isn’t already?
You’re suggesting communities will form in the negative space created by people removing the same things. I don’t think that’d work.
And it’s definitely not how you foster niche communities. That’s how you drown them. Currently they survive in positive space, where even a small numbers of users, browsing using their subbed feed, leads to regular activity even with a tiny usercount. Even as the posts are essentially invisible in all.
I am asking how would such communities in your system survive, let alone form? Tags completely disconnected from a host instance?

I completely disagree.

That’s what bluesky does for their decentralized network.
