But blocking the instance at the DNS level does not stop the content from reaching other Russian instances, right? They would have to basically track every server that is federating with them and block like this.
Instances hosted in Russia can’t federate with lgbtqia.space anymore.
You could fix it with a relay, or having the instances conn extend with the rest of the Internet through a VPN/proxy.
Yeah, a PITA but can still be worked around.
