Your instance can ban the offending instances, so they won't show up for you or your fellow users, and vice versa. It provides a good way to exile the offending community.
Do you know how the report button works?
Does it send a report to the mods of your instance?
I honestly have no idea. I'm just running my own instance so I'll just ban any users from my federation feed if I need to.
If you check the modlog page (link at the bottom of the desktop site), you can see what mods/admins have been doing recently (note that there is potentially offensive content there)
