Even if you block an instance, you still see comments from that instance and the instance can also still influence your feed via voting. Which means propaganda or what’s worse can still be pushed to people’s feeds.
Just keep that in mind - defederation is a more effective tool, but obviously it should be used with care.

As if there isn’t propaganda everywhere else?
It’s just a part of life lol. You just don’t like propaganda that you don’t support, which is fair

I just mean if an instance turns bad or malicious in some way (through excessive propaganda or any other reason), that’s a legitimate reason to defederate and blocking cannot stop all malicious acts. Defederation is the only method to actually supress it entirely.

defederation doesn’t entirely suppress anything, it just encourages people to switch to instances that are still federated
