I’m pretty sure it doesn’t block the users; I blocked the NSFW Lemmy, whatever the big one is, because of how much porn would be on the All feed otherwise. I was surprised to see a post or comment from someone whose account was on that instance a few weeks ago, but it wasn’t anything I didn’t want to see so overall I was glad the users are still able to participate elsewhere if that’s what they want.
I wish I, an individual account, could defederate from instances, like some way to block all those instances’ users.
the lemmy devs added per user instance blocks a while ago. Check your settings page
IIRC that only blocks posts though, not comments :/
I don’t think that blocks the users, just the posts? Or does it block users also?
