If you block it, it won’t reply to you. If you ban it on instance level, it will be blocked on all federated instances on all communities.

This is a good point. Yet I feel like there’s a point where the annoyance overshadows the benefits. If there’s an annoying bot on every single instance, is it still reasonable to snipe-ban individual bots? What if a server is mostly bots, yet have real users?

I think it’s better not to accept bots at all.

If you defederate, you will block real people on the instance the bot is on.

This is true. But the argument feels a bit hollow when you plan on blocking Threads. If you are willing to block ten million users, why shouldn’t others block your 40?
