Blocking instances is not done lightly, and it's usually done leaving visible moderation logs. Still, if you dislike that you can go to an instance that has not blocked the one you want.
As for looking at communities of an instance, you can always go to the instance itself directly and browse things there.
I mean, yeah, leaving is always an option - but I would rather prefer exploration of the possibility of a better solution. Not to mention, there doesn't seem to be an option for moving your account from one instance to another. I would like to keep my comment and post history if I ever do move instances.
Besides, leaving might not be the ideal solution, as blocked instances seem to block back, and many instances have a "follow our blocklist, or we will block you" rule from what I have been reading.
Eh, I would like to access all the stuff I want to see in one feed, ideally.
While you would like to be able to browse banned content more conveniently, I think it's fair that the instance admins do not want it cached on or hosted by their server.
