I know you can't block an instance as a user. I understand why you would want to. It would make things easier for us and I think it would be a good feature to add on the user side. Or perhaps an "opt in" to a block list that is kept by your instance.
In my opinion, blocking the individual users and instance communities is good enough for now. If a problematic member of another instance starts causing trouble in a community on your instance, then I believe it's the job of the moderators to block them if they're breaking the community rules, and outside of that it's my own job to block individuals I don't like.
