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].
If you believe the user base of a certain instance is harmful in nature for most users of the Fediverse, consider '''also reporting''' them under the hashtag #FediBlock.  
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.
