You seem to be referring to a particular set of binary-focused servers. I am referring to the protocol and network design, as an example of a federated system offering resilience.

(Also, I think your numbers are wrong, but I won't quibble about those because it's the network that's relevant to this thread, not the way some people happen to be using it today.)

It is. Blocking or shutting down any node in the network only affects that node. Others carry on without it. Another example of a federated system offering resilience.
