Instance blocks and Threads (feddit.it)

With debate raging in the Fedi about Threads' federation, I was having a discussion with another user about the recently implemented instance blocks. They pointed out that, blocking an instance simply hides their content from your feed but doesn't prevent your posts from being sent to them. Firstly, is this correct? Is this how instance blocks are implemented in Lemmy? If not, has this been discussed before? I couldn't find such a discussion in Github issues...

It seems that many people have concerns about Meta's use of their data, and would like to opt out of sharing their content with Threads. Is there any way to do this in Lemmy right now, or any plan to implement such a feature?

Lol well hey, fair enough. That's much more recent than anything I found, too. I'd be interested in seeing this feature implemented as well. It would be nice to not directly contribute to anything Meta..
