Was nationalism ever awesome? From an outside perspective it was quite disturbing and worrying.

Don't know what you're comparing us with, but we're just not that into that whole normative narrative kind of thing.
I'm other words: it's fine, even if we'd be like that.
We need more instances, not bigger ones. Sync should try to promote smaller ones, or even host their own.
It's not impossible to ruin, just a lot harder.
Put up a yearly donation drive (like Wikipedia) but unlike Wikipedia do:
- a competition between the various instances, on which collects the most donations
- not shift the page content when displaying the donation banner!
Ideally the donations will be handled through a non-profit org dedicated to this particular purpose. If the donation level is high enough, developers can be hired to further improve the source code. Currently the funds are managed through OpenCollective, but with enough growth this may not be feasible any longer.
This will most likely lead to heated debates as this will build a somewhat centralized organization, which necessarily comes with power concentration.
Goddess Terrace Cafe might fit.
