"I've come to find that .social won't do anything about them "
This is one of the issues with an instance that has over 1/4 million active users.
I wish people would spread out more for more effective Fediverse moderation (and many other reasons), and . social would stop making everyone feel that their instance is where people should go to join Mastodon.
Sorry, I know it's off-topic, but you hit a button.
I don't think that's the solution, though.
Just spreading out the problem doesn't changing the scaling of it. If anything, it might make it harder, not easier.
A big instance can have an army of people attacking the problem, moderating consistently and as a team, organized into shifts or whatever they need to do to do it as efficiently and effectively as possible.
But if you divide the misbehavers into various instances, the problem is the same size, but now instead of one potentially organized moderation team you have the need for moderators at every independent instance.
Better, I think, to collect all the misbehavers into one place where they can be dealt with.
