So for an analogous situation on the fediverse, let's say mastodon .social blocking a smaller instance, do I understand correctly that the smaller instance's users would still be able to follow .social's users (provided they can find them)?

@KentNavalesi If mastodon.social defederates (not just silences/limits) some smaller instance the users of that smaller instance won't be able to even follow users from m.s with an account on that smaller instance. It's of course nowhere near as dominant as Bluesky's corporate servers but that's not to say it wouldn't be better for it to be less so. It's good that there are plans for the Mastodon website to direct people to more instances.
