Open-source and unmoderated are 2 very different things.
Lemmy is open source so you got this already.
As for an instance without an admin, there can’t be such a thing. An instance has to be hosted on some server and this server belongs to somebody that has to maintain it.
A community without a mod doesn’t exist, as a community has to be founded by someone to exist.
Now, do you really want a community without an active mod ? Well if you want spam, bots and shitty content, sure.
If your problem is power tripping mods, just leave the communities with such mods.
Or you can run your own Lemmy instance and see how it goes.
You think they want to deal with the legal fallout of owning the server that hosts kiddy porn and meet ups for hate groups or terrorism? That’s for others, man. They want their cake and eat it too.

“Founded” should be ok. “Policed” constantly is totally annoying. Instead of a mod, it should be an “originator”.
Start your own server.
