I usually have the opposite experience, new mods destroy the community or it splinters into more subs.
The vanity of reddit made it possible that some of the worst people became mods. It was mostly some random pretext to throw people out of their own communities and many of them aren't around today anymore.
Powermods shouldn't even exist, maybe restrict mods to 1-2 subs. This would at least reduce very likely the vast amount of low quality moderation decisions.
But in the end I don't even believe this is fixable. New mods are rarer because the platform is mature. Of course you still can create niche subs, but those are in danger of being captured as well.
