If you want to avoid specific instances, it’s best to go to an instance that defederates from those instances. That’s the power of the Fediverse - you get to choose an instance that aligns with your values and moderation style :)
Avoiding them myself is great, but long term I’d love do see the Fediverse succeed. We need to shut down propaganda if we want it to be viable. There’s no corporation or organization running the show, it’s us.
The way to shut down propaganda is defederation and diligent moderation. That takes some actions from admins and moderators, who as you note are mostly volunteers. So do your best to support your local mods and admins in doing that or volunteer yourself :)

Agreed, well said. I hope the fediverse can really become a good thing
