It might be interesting to know for anyone reading this - kbin.social (Kbin) allows individual users to block instances, unlike on Lemmy where users can only block communities and only admins have the power to defederate with instances.

For example, from my kbin profile, I could go to kbin.social/d/lemmy.world (do for "domain") and then block lemmy.world entirely, like the admins of beehaw here have done.

So if you think these decisions ought to be left up to the individual user, kbin might be a better fit for you than Lemmy in its current state.

Here's what it looks like in my settings (again, on my kbin.social account, not here): https://beehaw.org/pictrs/image/0f28b007-a8d4-4ae1-86d3-99000fed2c2c.png

(In Kbin speak, "magazines" are communities, and "domains" are instances.)
