We're badly in need of better decentralized moderation tools.

Individuals blocking individuals is not an effective way to handle abuse.

I want the ability to have an automated way to block instances if they do not handle abuse reports. If I see an abusive user from an unfamiliar instance, it's not easy for me to know whether their behavior is the norm or will go unpunished. It would be nice to have a one-click:

1. Block this user for me from an abusive post
2. Report to *their* instance admin "If the linked behavior is acceptable on your instance, I will block your instance."
3. Autoblock the instance if no response in, say, 3 days
4. If the admin responds, give the option to block the instance.

@acjay I'm currently working on something like this. I'm sure I'm not the only one. Thank you for offering such detailed feedback... I'm sure we'll have these tools before long.
