Mastodon does not so much "lose the right wing trolls", it is just that some of the biggest instances are run by "left wing authoritarians" who simply do not allow views outside of their own comfort zone [1]. There are likely to be some right wing instances as well but those are shunned by those bigger instances, some of which even block other Mastodon instances which are deemed unclean since they do not have a strict enough blocking policy. Gab and Truth Social are based on Mastodon but they do not federate and searching for "conservative fediverse sites" does not produce anything other than criticism of conservativism on the fediverse [2] so it is unclear whether there is such a thing as a 'conservative fediverse'. What is clear is that if there is something like that around the main Mastodon instances refuse to federate with it and with that they make themselves far less interesting for those who prefer diversity of thought than they could otherwise be. [1] Diversity of thought is the one diversity which really counts but also the one shunned by those who profess to strive for diversity. [2] There is a clear need for a politically neutral - not "left" or "centre" or "right" but "unbiased" - search infrastructure
