I think the only safeguard against that is to do your own moderation. The only tool I can think of that would even come close to detecting “power tripping” would be AI, and we all know that would end terribly. The best you can do is remove incentives (somehow, idk) so mods aren’t rewarded for a bad ban.

It does seem like wildly unregulated territory, unfortunately. I have ideas I’ve brainstormed though: Minimum number of moderaters once a certain user threshold has been reached (So if you have above 1k-5k users, you need a minimum of 2 or 3 mods)? Ability to report servers for incompetent moderation? There’s a line eventually where discord stops being a place where “friends hang out” and becomes a platform to engage with a community. That’s the point where moderation should be regulated. Just my two cents anyway.
