That's still a problem. It really doesn't make the community look good. I think that also creates an issue similar to Big Tech networks where you don't get opinions from all sides of arguments (unless you have many accounts on many instances).
On the contrary, it makes the community look good not to federate with everyone. There are instances that are so toxic that I'm really happy not to have them around. Let the gun-lovers, fascists, the Russian mouthpieces, the spammers, etc. have their place, but don't offer them the platfor they don't deserve.
Your broad claim and what is actually being banned on instances makes it seem you want to include questionable if not destructive opinions.
Can you be more concrete? What are you missing, and where?
What banned content that couldn't find a home on another instance do you want to see?
Do you think opinions should be shareable in any form, or only in respectful form?
It's probably the usual case of "respect my opinion while I don't respect yours."
when one side is "Queer people should be hunted down and killed" or "women are property" they don't get a seat at the table of people who aren't complete monsters.
