No, it's a bug, not feature. Those content should not flow into your timeline if your friends are all nice and vile accounts are banned on your instance. The fact that instance owners not just can, nor just do, but HAVE TO block a bunch of demonized instances as a checkbox obligation and compromise and virtue signaling is a bug.

How my community wants to operate is not beholden to your standards if my instance wants to block the stormfront mastodon instance it's going to and nothing you say is going to make anyone on my instance change their minds about that.
I have not seen any evidence of any major instance ban another instance because it refuses to ban yet another instance. There would be no reason for that. Messages from the controversial instance still won't make it to the instance that demands the 'virtual signaling' even through my instance.. unless some user on my instance essentailly quotes whole posts.
