Same as right now, hosts use tools to clean up their servers if they don't want to host it. You don't back up everything on all the servers, you can just make sure all data is backed up twice so if one server shuts down there's two backups, so you wouldn't end up with all servers hosting malicious data.
The delete power abuse is much more of an issue at the moment since admins have complete control over their instance, with what I'm suggesting they can delete messages they don't like from their servers, it's backed up on other servers.
It gives more control and responsibilities to users by eliminating the admins from the equation altogether. No more instances, no more admins to decide that you can't see the content from instances they don't like, manage your own feed as you have access to the whole database.
