This would be a mess to support on a server and I don't blame anyone not wanting to pay to host that much wasted processing power. You can start a server for under $50. Admins have the power to do what they want on the servers they own. Federation works on a per-server basis. You can block who you don't want to see. Some even allow you to block entire instances. But federation at the user level is ridiculous on its face and would require ridiculous server power.
As someone who works with large data on a daily basis, no, it's not.
Gonna point you to my post here.
I don't think you read the comment close enough or all the way through. Blocking is not defederation.
