If a user blocks a domain I suppose their content isn't send to that server anymore I hope?

It is. The user just won’t see any content from the server they blocked.

  How do you know? We should fix this on the software level.

  They won’t see any communities from the server they block. Users are not blocked in domain blocking.
  
  Users can now block instances. Similar to community blocks, it means that any posts from communities which are hosted on that instance are hidden. However the block doesn’t affect users from the blocked instance, their posts and comments can still be seen normally in other communities.

Nope Lemmy’s blocking system is cosmetic only. It’s very much useless against defending from real malicious users. I assume the purpose it was built for was under the assumption that it was going to be used exclusively by easily offended snowflakes, which is backed up by the way that most users treat a person’s claims regarding a malicious user or malicious instance.
