Honestly, what started as a joke might actually be a very good idea to implement.. 
Even if just to stand against all that other bullshit that's floating around.
If anyone does run with this idea, choose a name which does not have "taint" in it please. No point lending credence to their made up nonsense by naming your website after it. Even if just to stand against all that other bullshit that's floating around.I agree that the word taint shouldn't be a part of it. Language matters, and the language applied by detractors shouldn't be adopted by promotors. I would rather see URLs like "chainhistory.com" or "chainillumination.org," something that doesn't have any derogatory meaning and makes no promises other than providing education and facts.
I'm not a developer of any kind, but if I can help in a project of this type please count me in. If all I can do is contribute to a fund to hire a developer, I'm willing.
And to answer your question - we already have good alternatives such as Bisq. The problem is getting enough people to leave all the anti-bitcoin examples I gave above and use these other pro-bitcoin platforms instead.
Bisq is great for those of us who are bitcoin maximalists, but to be honest I think they would need a lot of work to make altcoins more easily traded. The most recent release does a great job implanting XMR sub addresses, but more stuff like that is likely to help. I don't like the fact that you have to include shitcoins to attract new customers, but that's the world in which we live.
Let's get back on Wasabi wallet topic.
They answered best they could and we can't expect them to change course now when they decided the route they are going.
We can still support the idea of alternative coordinator or some Wasabi fork that would work without any censorship, but someone needs to take risk with this.

There are other options out there, Sparrow wallet has implemented a coinjoin coordinator called Whirlpool. Samurai Wallet also has coinjoin implementation, but I don't remember the coordinator. I tend to agree with o_e_l_e_o, there are better alternatives.
