Pretty much, some of the instances are whitelist only, so they block all instances and the administrator/users shop around for other instances to whitelist and contact the said instances to whitelist them also.
That sounds like a pretty good way to do it.
Yeah, this way the troll instances can create all of the instances they want, but they can't just butt themselves into a whitelist only federated network.
