I am not even sure that needs to happen to lemmy as a whole.
Server level consortia can be made by the people hosting servers.
As I understand it, the vision would be that there will be hate groups and spam on lemmy. But that everyone who doesn't want it, will easily escape it by simply being on a "normal instance", which is not associated with any of the finge content by anything but the name "lemmy".
Everyone who wants to move on the fringe can also do that, by joining an instance which includes all the bad things which normal instances defederate.
My go to scenario for thinking about difficult situations, is the "reddit 2016 situation", where you had the annoying trump sub, with the annoying trump people annoying the fuck out of everyone who was even remotely normal.
And you couldn't get rid of them, their spam, and their shit, because admins didn't want to do anything (Free speech!), you couldn't engage with them on their turf, because you would get instabanned (Free speech?), and everyone just had to tolerate them spamming the frontpage with their worthless shit. Because they were a community on reddit, had every right to be there, and nobody could do anything.
That kind of problem will not appear here. There will be instances which allow the annoying Trumpers. There will be instances which defederate them. And how much split you want, will depend on the instance you use.
There is no central "lemmy", which contains hate speech, or does not. And that's the difference to centralized solutions.
