No but there are admins and a whole team of people who respond to reports of site-wide rule breaking.

I may not understand the actual details of the decentralized nature of the fediverse but I was under the impression that each instance benefits from the moderation of other instances. So that any individual user or instance that is blocked by one instance is flagged so that other instances can decide what to do with this information.

There is no need for a single large team to do all this work because there isn't a single monolithic service that needs to cater for all users.

I'm probably living in a fantasy world but I still have reservations about putting all my trust in one commercial entity.
