It would but then that bath water comes with the baby.

I can get people talking about piracy but it comes with Russian propaganda, Hitler love, fat shaming and homophobia.

It would be kind of cool to have a client where your communities come from specific instances where you want them. If an instance goes down have it pick a backup instance and pull the community from there. Of course it would require separate accounts in separate communities with separate subs on each instance, making each user weigh many times there normal cost for lemmy operation.

There's always self-hosting, but it has its own discovery pitfalls. When you'd like a pie hole and public rated block lists where you can tell it what you do and don't want to see

Sh.itjust.works seems to be an instance that is pretty good about being chill with stuff while also blocking the really bad instances,it's also super stable. They've had 2? Outages maybe 3, compared to lemmy.world's endless ones.

I was trying to make an account there yesterday and it was down all day. Was it down for you yesterday or am I doing something wrong?

You can always choose what you subscribe to and use the subscribed feed, or alternately just block communities that offend you as you encounter them, depending on how tightly curated an experience you want to have. I honestly feel like the only thing that needs is the ability to use wildcards in blocked community names to let you block a bunch of related communities quickly.
