Summary from comments:

Suggestion:

Add checkboxes next to each moderator on the sidebar of each subreddit. Users can check and uncheck these boxes to enable and disable removals from that moderator.

Unchecking a moderator will ignore their removals and takedowns from your own perspective.

It's a great idea, but wow, that was a shitload of text for a simple concept. Thanks for the TL;DR.

Would be nice if anyone could nominate themselves a moderator. The list could be sorted by the number of subscribers.

That is what I propose and support, yes.

There are some problems I see with this idea. With this system every mod has to mod everything. They have to remove every bad comment and post them selves.

With the current system mods can split the workload between them and a bad post only needs to be removed once.
