This brings up an interesting point. On Mastodon, besides Block User, there is also a Block Instance option. Will we ever see that on Lemmy? Seems like an easy way to resolve what has been a big issue for me (and obviously other people too).
Aka, you don't really want to start over on another instance (hey, not migration tools yet!) but you also don't really want to see posts from a specific server any more. Rather than people having to lobby the server admins about whether or not to defederate, wouldn't it just be easier to allow user-level instance blocking? (I know I say "just" while knowing zip about how hard that as in the back end, but yes, from a logistics perspective, seems like you could make a lot of spam-level requests leave the admin's plates by implementing this.)
