User level community and instance blocks will stop you from seeing posts from those places, but it does not block their users or their comments, so you’d still be able to see them around in non-blocked communities.
Really? Huh, I have a decent amount of communities blocked and I’ve never seen a single post from anyone of them after implementing the block

You can also establish a user block though too, so if their comments in unblocked communities are making your experience less than ideal, just block that user.

That’s not a terribly good user experience if a user doesn’t want to interact with any users from a particular instance, as then it would require the user to manually block hundreds of users over a long span of time.

I’m assuming they mean it isn’t a two way block. Blocked users can still interact with your posts/comments, you just can’t see them. I personally think that should be how it works, but I’ve seen a lot of arguments for the Reddit-style blocking where they can’t interact with you anymore.
