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.
If it's a DNS block I guess Russian instances just need to direct the domain to the IP address in their hosts file
It's always IP + DNS + Deep Packet Inspection. To access blocked websites, you have to use some sort of proxying.
