You are right, but I never said Mastodon was without authority, it's decentralized and authorative at the same time.
To be able to remove the admin in Mastodon we would need to change laws since nobody would host a server that they cannot delete illegal content from.
Thinking about these things opens doors to understanding the absurdity of our current society.
In the end: to think that you can control anything is an illusion of energy abundance, and since we are running out of coal, oil and gas; my intuition tells me authority is going to dwindle slowly, then fast and finally all at once.
Thus, my conclusion is: don't build admin interfaces. :D
Adding to this the source-available economy that is the last step in our modern stack, needs user generated/hosted/owned content. So I think moderation tools needs to be less energy intense than manual.
My only solution so far is pride/shame, like hn; so you attach a pseudonym to things: after all that is how communities have worked since we started naming people.
