> Most people don't want to play moderator and create huge lists of filters in order to not deal with shit.

Sure — but think of Ad block filters. Filter lists eventually get developed (eg Easylist), and if the maintainers ever do something radical, users can easily remove one filter list and substitute another.

It’s much harder for users in communities with moderators to do the same — if I get banned from /r/detroit and I live there, what’s my alternative?
