Thats where federation comes in. Don't like how mods are running things? Just set up a mirror forum on a different instance and people will come if theyre sympathetic.

    If we ignore the network effect, or the effort it takes, it's a great idea!

    It's a fair point. Don't discount the power and value that comes from keeping the same platform, APIs, and client software during a community migration away from the censorship. Plus having a clear line delineating the extent of a mod's power to suppress viewpoints likely reduces the incidence of abuse in the first place.
