    The only official way is for the admin of your instance to defederate from the instance you want blocked, but that affects every registered user on your instance, even if they’re against the action.

    I just released a user script that lets you block instances yourself on the client-side as a regular user - basically just removes post and comments from the HTML if they match your block list.
