Except the "instance block" filter doesn't actually block users or content from the instance

Why on earth would you expect a single user to have the power to block something at a local instance level (and so for other users of the local instance?

It's called instance block because you are blocking all users of the remote instance for you and you alone.

But that's the thing; it does not block the users. It blocks all the communities on the instance, so you won't see things posted to those, but if the users from the blocked instance post to a community on your instance or on another instance that isn't blocked, you still see their content. Possibly even can still be DM'd by them but I don't know for sure.

One would expect it to be a total block of everything from the instance; the communities on that instance, and the users from it.

Ok, I misunderstood your complaint then.
