I should talk to the admins of those better servers. I'd like a new covenant. my understanding is some servers want to be very strict with who they federate with. I think we should work on there being a dominant middle ground position.

Keep in mind that servers don't whitelist, they blacklist. Federation happens automatically.You are probably running into these Nazi instances because "liberal City" is an obviously political one, but if you can get some cross-traffic with servers like TechHub, .Art, Writing.Exchange, MSTDN, Meow, etc, you should have better interactions from there.
You may want to look at TechHub's blocklist, on our about page, and make sure we're blocking/limiting the same servers. We are pretty hesitant to block, so it's pretty much guaranteed that every server on that list has a serious problem.
