Curious - would boosts from users on non-blocked servers bypass the block here? In other words, does traffic for boosts go via the original instance, or is it direct between the boosting and the receiving servers?
That way. You can't trust a third-party instance to proxy content, every server has to get its own copy.
Fair point, would be an incredibly easy vector for abuse in any other way. Good thing I'm not a software engineer.
