    Unfortunately blocking an instance only blocks posts on that instance, not users from it, which is the main issue people have with those instances.

      Yeah it’s a very common misconception, I find it weird that people are still having it though when 0.19 is widely available.

      Maybe they’re just saying it as a way to be dismissive of the issue, this kind of stuff happens often when people report or call to attention malicious instances or malicious users.
