Social Media is a place where people have little to no responsibility for what they say and comment, this lead to online bullying where people comment negative thoughts under the posts of other users, so, many social media platforms have taken a lot of steps to battle online bullying, the option to block accounts is a major part of it.
Besides the option to block accounts, there are many other features that will let users remove the negativity around their account and posts,
Instagram has announced on their official blog on May 12 that they have added new features to Instagram to aid their fight against online bullying.

The first feature is the option to delete negative comments as a bulk, Instagram on its blog post says that they "know it can feel overwhelming to manage a rush of negative comments." So they started to test a way to bulk delete and block the negative comments and the accounts that post them.
"To enable this feature on iOS, tap on a comment and then the dotted icon in the top right corner. Select Manage Comments and choose up to 25 comments to delete at once. Tap More Options to block or restrict accounts in bulk. To block or restrict accounts on Android, press and hold on a comment, tap the dotted icon and select Block or Restrict."
