Its probably more difficult to block multiple mastodon instances than the single bluesky site.
The problem isn't that the state is blocking it; its that they threatened to impose a $10,000 fine for each user who can access the site without first proving their age.
You can afford that risk if you live outside the US. Not if you're a US corporation
If a minor hosted their own instance for friends, would the state fine them $10,000/pop?
I assume the hoster would know the age of his friends? Or is the law more spesific in how the verification must happen.
