What's the approach to dealing with self-hosted trolls? (lemmy.ml)

I'm new to the fediverse, and so far, I have been seeing some situations from lemmy instances rejecting users to defederating from others, but I ask myself: what can be done if trolls or bots come from self-hosted single-user instances?

I'm not running an instance yet. If I do, I'd expect to drop any instance that seems to emit mostly junk, even if they sometimes emit non-junk.

It would be good to have tools that (for example) give instance admins an overview of what traffic they're receiving from various other instances.

Don't know if lemmy.buttgoats.com is good? You should be able to get a summary of all the traffic they have sent to others, and how much of it was removed by moderators.
