When the moderation of the remote instance tolerates the behavior of their user base and breaks the rules of your local instance, you should '''contact''' the moderation of your local instance for them to stop federating with said instance and block them (effectively excluding them from your local instance).

If you believe the user base of a certain instance is harmful in nature for most users of the Fediverse, consider '''also reporting''' them to [https://a.rathersafe.space/@fediblock FediBlock]. Be aware that this approach is disputed under certain groups and sometimes not followed/supported by projects like [https://github.com/pixeldesu/fediverse-friendly-moderation-covenant/blob/master/README.md The Fediverse-Friendly Moderation Covenant] (see point 4 "We won't recommend blocks").

Be aware that reporting an instance to FediBlock doesn't necessarily mean that your instance will block that instance. There are instance admins and moderators that don't like blocking other instances and there are admins and moderators that make their own blocklist independent of FediBlock.<br>
FediBlock is a group of volunteers and not an official authority of the Fediverse.<br>
You can however follow the FediBlock blocklist and block those instances on your own.
