It has weather accounts for, what seems like, every single city in the US and the microblog feed is absolutely spammed by it. It doesn't seem like fedia supports blocking other instances, only accounts, but I don't want to have to manually block every single account from that instance.

Please defederate from it. It doubtful that it adds any value.

Yeah, I spent probably an hour manually (with some help from a script) blocking all those accounts when their weather spam first started taking over the feed last year. Having such a huge block list that's frequently getting used probably doesn't help with the server load situation.

An option to block the whole domain would be much more convenient.
