  Problem is that blocking the instance doesn’t block these clowns’ comments on other instances, you have to do a lot of manual blocking.

    Some instances are defederated from them, which would prevent them from being seen elsewhere.

      That would work for some - hexbear.net and lemmygrad.ml - but not for others, like lemmy.ml and maybe Midwest.social. At some point users need to start blocking on their own.

    That depends on your client. Connect for lemmy shows a placeholder for comments from blocked instances. You can click to show the comment anyway or just blissfully ignore the high probability rage bait.

    Lemm.ee basically doesn’t defederate anything. You should probably go to an instance that defederates those instances.

      While I would prefer defederation in this case, I found being on an instance ran by competent admin small price to pay.
