Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".

I was wondering if there was a community where admins of different instances got together and chat in general about decisions for how they run their instances.

Sort of like an informal U.N. for Lemmy admins.

bigger instances would have a veto power and smaller instances might be forced to take the same action as them if they make a collective decision, even if they don't want to do it personally.

Things are already like that somewhat, as far as I can see.

Smaller instances for the most part need to have registration signups or capcha as a minimum, otherwise they risk swift defederation from larger instances when spammers arrive

As lemmy's mod tools improve I see things moving away from this approach though

That's why I included the words informal, but I get your point I hope it doesn't become too bureaucratic and is just a place for admins to build trust and communication with each other so federation/defederation is a more conscious decision.
