A user checking out one of these URLs does not want to filter only local post on that instance.

On all instances, this url should mean "show me all /c/piracy on all federated instances"

If you really mean /c/piracy only on that instance, then add something to the url.

The current convention breaks the most important aspect of federation and makes its vestigial appendage.

The current way has user asking question /c/piracy, but on which instance ?

So now they'll all join the same instance . You wouldn't post anywhere else since no one would every see it.

It's a recipe for centralization.

I think this is obvious to most users, were deal with "voat with extra steps" here

I think it has to be taken as a time

First agglomerate all /c/piracy on all instances

Then figure out how we would include /c/piracy /c/pirates /c/softwarepiracy

That second one involves a human making choices, therefore bias, private interests, power seeking, censorship and control

That second one is stepping into a bottomless quicksand pit
