how does it avoid that? i have experienced just as many power tripping mods on discord as i have on irc. the only difference to me is that i have never seen an irc channel with over 20 million users

By making it very easy for every user to start their own server, rather than the multiple tiers of ircops/server admins/etc. where some users genuinely do have more power (and/or a level of technical ability that becomes a difference in power) than others.
