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?

They get defederated wherever they get consistently banned...and then they can federate with their friends and make their community of shit and yell at each other or something.

Can it be practical if several instances get created programmatically?
