Has anyone ever investigated moderation by sortition?

Instead of this current system where people have to be recruited to a scary "moderator" role, what if everyone on a server got randomly assigned mod requests on a jury basis of say, 3-9 people?

The current status quo just sets up maintainers for burnout: as your instance grows, so does the free emotional labour you're expected to conduct.

What if instead of this we all agreed to take on this responsibility as part of joining a community?
