I can't decide if this would be weird and entertaining or lame

To have an enlightened community you need enlightened members. Social media struggles to even have people read and heed simple posting rules.

Ignoring the former and only considering the latter, as others have mentioned, mods serve a janitorial function. If you anticipate a stable user population, you could implement terms for mods, so no one has the role for more than, say, a month. Like students in Japan who have to clean their own classrooms, having all members take a turn might help. You could have more than 1 mod at a time with a staggered start so that (a) they get experienced support and (b) accountability/prevention to prevent someone from taking over. Finally a 3rd role, someone who's only ability is to boot a mod if needed

Is there any other carrier in the U.S. that's any better? Verizon and ATT don't seem any better

The issue has always been reduction of red tape and corruption and then appropriate funding not whether bureaucracy should exist at all. Glad to some movement away from generalized "bureaucracy bad" takes on the matter.
