As it is the Fedi is (still) actively hostile to women and BIPOC. Good people leave because harassment and block evasion are too easy and moderation insufficient on most large servers or nonexistent in small ones.
Maybe a large number of better moderated servers should switch to an allowlist model and better reply controls (on who gets to reply to posts). On top of that, using shared blocklists if some of the allowed servers misbehave.
It will break the fediverse as we know it, but that's not a bad thing as it's already broken by abusers. Most large instances will likely not be on allowlists as they're geared from growth, not community safety.
