For example, do you need a degree in philosophy to be a moderator of the philosophy community?
If so, how do we test for that?
If not, why do we treat them as authority?

Admins don’t need any qualifications, and neither do the mods they choose.
If you like a community but not its mods, you may be able to find a similar community on another instance, alternatively you may try starting a “competing” community yourself.
But when you create your new community, the population doesn’t follow you.
And, I’m getting that most of us don’t care about a better community. We don’t make waves anyway.
