To be honest, I actually don't really appreciate human moderation, so that's probably biasing my position.
I can block communities. I can block users. I can set word filters.
If I block someone, I never have to hear from them again. If a moderator does, they'll be back with a new account, and then I DO have to hear from them.
I'd far prefer a "federated" and crowdsourced mechanism to layer onto an extremely lightly moderated foundational layer.
If someone, or someones, want to curate a filter list that aligns with my sensibilities, awesome, I'll opt in. I'll contribute. If I bump into unresolvable issues with other filter curators I'll fork the filter.
I don't need or want a tiny subset of users working full time for free getting burnt out or going on power trip crusades.
