In theory, but from what I understand Mastodon is rife with inter-server blocking, so your admin might just decide you're not allowed to even read posts from a condemned server (because aggregation is done server-side, unlike say RSS). And simply not blocking certain servers is enough to get your own blacklisted. Making it less of a network and more of a graph with several isolated networks that you have to exclusively choose between
The UX if you're on the side of a block is really bad on Mastodon too. You can be following a bunch of people, and they're following you, and suddenly they can't see your posts because you're on the wrong side of a one-way server block.
