My understanding is instance admins can change moderators, so depends on the instance the community is hosted on.

Why would you not want to post there?
The world overall has changed.
Copyright used to be one of the main threats to a free and open Internet that empowered people to communicate freely, to a digital society overall.
Now the "digital society" is very much something that's been realized and isn't going away any time soon, meanwhile there are other threats to the free and open Internet from all sides of the political spectrum, such as: age verification laws, attempts to censor "hate" and "misinformation", bans on specific platforms (TikTok) etc. etc. etc. This has distracted people from copyright, everybody seems to have now accepted the fact that copyright will mainly be enforced by DRM and if the DRM is broken, there's no effective way to stop the spread of information.
Literally anybody who thought about the idea for more than ten seconds already realized this a long time ago; apparently this blog post needed to be written for the people who didn't do even that...
probably, I remember something along those lines
Yes. Here's what it looks like for your example website on my end:
Doesn't seem to be, but I've definitely seen polls on Mastodon, so there must already be some standard for the data structure.
In the early-to-mid 2010s Tumblr was mainly associated with "social justice" types of people, it seems to have become a lot less relevant at some point in the late 2010s.
"How to Clean Leather Sandals"
I don't own leather sandals and am not sure I know anyone who does, so that is very unlikely any time soon.
I think you've just (perhaps independently) discovered the (in my mind very important) idea that moderation is different from censorship. I think the fediverse structure implements that distinction a lot better than most other platforms nowadays do.
nonexistent really
The trick is: drink as much water (by volume) as you've had alcoholic beverages before going to sleep.
Some people might still be subscribed to it, so you will reach an audience. I never check whether moderators are active before posting.
