Then there’s nothing unique about open and decentralized social media.
The technology where I could “start my own server” has always existed.

Right, but getting people to actually know it exists is the problem. That’s why federated decentralized media is a good thing.

Isn’t federation just another version of moderation?

No. It’s how different instances share content with one another.

Doesn’t really work once spaces are established. Most of reddits problems aren’t the admins, it’s the volunteers.

Remember, there were plenty of rounds of moderator purges on reddit, especially when subs would lock down in protest. Any mod with ethics and a backbone would’ve been shown the door. So I think it’s fair to say a lot of the moderation problems were at least in part caused by the admins.
At least on Lemmy, different instances have different ethoses, so communities can be more in line with the instance they’re on, and there isn’t this need for absolute centralised conformity.
