... No, that's not the point of a block. The point of a block is to prevent a party from communicating with you. It was never meant to be an invisibility cloak.
Even if every instance was guaranteed to properly enforce your block, there's nothing any of that will do to stop an unauthenticated person from viewing public statuses.
There is no such thing as "public-except-doo-doo-heads," and instead of trying to make that happen, software developers need to properly manage user's expectations.

@volpeon That's why agreements like the Fediverse Friendly Moderation Covenant between instances are a good idea to know which ones will behave in a rational manner that fosters the growth of the social network.
The point of a block is to stop them from seeing you.
The thing with features like this on decentralized platforms is that you're relying on the goodwill of other instances because you can't enforce this behavior through technical means. Generally speaking, if an actor receives data and can extract its content, that's precisely when it leaves your control.New release: K-9 Mail 6.000
