Shades of the old Elf Sternberg "Balkanize Usenet" proposal: The Oliphant: Islands
Islands are opt-in federated networks consisting of a chain of allowlist or “limited federation” servers linked together. Everyone in the network federates with each other, and as such the entire network is more resilient and able to handle moderation challenges simply impossible in the wider fediverse.
Although I think Tara is doing an amazing job at moderating the Mastodon instance I use.
