Lemmy’s solution is that you can vote with your feet (=choose another instance with an admin to your liking)
Of course the solution is incomplete. Real bad admins remain a possibility.
That is kinda equal to a free world: Real bad humans are a possibility.

Big fat BUT:
If you really want a world where all bad people (according to your own definition) are excluded, then you have turned yourself into that cop that you despise so much.
