[–] gnawmon@ttrpg.network 9 points 1 week ago (3 children)

how would they even manage to do that?

i don't think thet can block every single instance on the internet

Hense why I'm asking. Its a good indicator if federation can truely work or not in response to these kind if situations.

They’d probably spend resources on that if there was a critical mass of people. The reason they don’t care is that people aren’t on the Fediverse.

Get a list of all mastodon servers from join-mastodon.org and ip-block them.

Block the main instances/ones publicly recorded somewhere. That would basically cripple it for most people.
