Its hard to find middle ground btwn keeping spammers out, and the random mods who create silly rules “you cant post questions with vowels” “or you cant post pictures” …in a lawncare sub. Mods are good but they need very limited power.
I see what you’re saying, but ultimately it’s a reputation thing. There will be a moderation team who hits your sweet spot of hands off versus removing annoying content.
From a programmatic perspective designing infrastructure where people can’t remove things leads to the anarchy of usenet.
But I’m hopeful that you will find a group that follows your moderation objectives and you can verify it like looking at the mod log. So it’s going to be all reputation anyway
I get what you’re staying, but frankly your OP question sounds pretty silly considering what the issue is.
The idea is, everyone can run their communities as they like… Even with such stupid rules as no pictures in a lawn comm, or US politics only in a politics comm on a world instance. Kinda sad in such cases, but otherwise the mods and admins are there for mostly good reasons.
You can almost always find comms or instances more to your liking, or try and start your own.

Is usenet a server in lemmy? Or a sep platform all together?
Usenet is a network communication system developed in the early 1980s. Way older than Lemmy, older than even the world wide web.
It still runs to this day, but much like moss isely it’s a hive of scum and villainy.
I’m sure there’s some holdout discussions still happening there, but it’s mostly binary postings for piracy nowadays
