Yes. In that example, the bigger instance defederated the smaller one, but banning is an extreme case. You’d be relegated to junk/spam filters for a while before that for only those providers but your email works everywhere else.

My main point still stands. Most email providers play nice but what if Gmail suddenly said “Your email won’t work except with other Gmail users”?
