One thing the OSM community _is_ culturally disposed to is people trying
things to see if they work, and in order to do there there's no need to
do it on a planet-wide basis.
A place to start might be consuming diffs, and if you're looking for
"something that processes diffs that is relatively easy to understand"
then https://github.com/zverik/regional might be a place to start; an
example of how that can be used is at
https://github.com/SomeoneElseOSM/mod_tile/blob/zoom/openstreetmap-tiles-update-expire#L159
. In that example "trim_osc.py" is called to remove data from a diff
file based on geographical location prior to inclusion in a rendering
database; you could create something similar based on some other
criteria*.
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:SomeoneElse/Ubuntu_1804_tileserver_load#Updating_your_database_as_people_edit_OpenStreetMap
is the elevant bit of some "set up a tile server" instructions that call
that; you could use those to create a tile server incorporating your
filtering and see how it compared to "real OSM" after a few days.
Best regards,
Andy
* perhaps initially just a simple obscenity filter for place names, not
withstanding that that won't catch e.g. things drawn with water and
roads to form letters - I've seen a couple of those recently.
