Users definitely need the ability to block entire instances themselves. That way we don't have to rely on others to do it for us or potentially block content we may want to see.

I think this type of posts will have an opposite impact to what we want, we are just giving it the attention it needs to become what it was on Reddit, my recommendation? Block it immediately.
Just downvote them if you see them. On reddit they abused certain features to get to the front page and once that method of manipulation was killed by reddit you rarely saw their posts.
Well that's unfortunate.
Well I think that is strength of Lemmy, everyone can have space on their own without anyone shutting them down, of course if crimes are commited this is a question for law authorities. If you don't want to see their content, you can either defederate or block their community.
I really don't understand this thinking that you cannot tolerate people with different opinion than yours to exist on the internet. Again if they break any laws, you can report it to authorities.
