It's in the "to be blocked" list posted.
I guess that centralized server thing is working out real well then. /s
Mastodon is also blocked, I don't think they cared if services are centralized.
Do you think they will be blocking every single Mastodon server in existence?
If it's federated it's easy to block. If it's not it's too small to care about really.
And if you just remove the ability for federation to function in your country you have fundamentally broken the system making it basically unusable for your people.
The federvise is extremely weak to censorship for your avg joe because it's strongest point the federation system is also it's biggest Achilles heel.
With out federation it's just a series of less useful forums and blogs.
The system is designed to prevent corporate ownership from destroying it. But the idea that you can prevent a government and those in control of the infrastructure from blocking it? Is laughable.
You can in small ways wrong around it but you don't need 100% censorship to win the game of cat and mouse. Even 50% of the biggest instances wins you the game.
