I don’t see how that would accomplish anything though? On PieFed it would work, or an app like Sync or Connect that I thought people don’t use much anymore, but in base Lemmy all it would do is mute the communities from that instance… which since Mastodon doesn’t have communities should still allow the users to ping you endlessly, generating notifications each time?
There used to be a flurry of them a few months ago, and I didn’t block anything but I haven’t seen any since. I suspect they were simply testing to see if it worked, which it did but it’s annoying so they stopped? :-P
It’s like being invaded by Twitter.
I hate it and have blocked some instances just to avoid seeing it in the comments.

I’m not sure whether it worked or I just happen to see fewer of those things as a coincidence.
