Can you though? There have to be communities to join, and they are what get polluted. As I understand it, switching instances won't help.
Someone then has to police a community if you want to "get rid of the riff-raff" and they will follow who-knows-what criteria for their policing. Just look at all the right-wing subreddits for an example of how policing doesn't necessarily raise the quality of discussion.
