Please don't campaign for instance-blocking because a particular post appeared in your timeline. There are better and healthier ways to deal with objectionable posts : report the particular post and the account to the instance admin, block the user from your account. Instance-blocking without reasonable grounds (just because you can) harms the #fediverse.
I am a bit shaken by the aggressive nature of those who campaign for instance-blocking right now.

in reply to Lohan Gunaweera • •100%. I keep on saying this. Admins should almost never block other instances from federating with theirs when users themselves can block other users or even entire instances. There are a lot of knee-jerking-reaction admins out there who are not thinking ahead at all. I understand if you want to manage your own instance and impose your set of rules, but I do not understand when you cut ties with entire instances, thus making thousands of users unable to communicate with each other....
In any case this will probably not change unfortunately....
