This is a quite interesting approach to defederation.
I’ve seen instance admins block instances because they run Fedi software that they don’t like (yes, there’s even a Mastodon issue about proactively blocking Pleroma/Akkoma instances because they’re allegedly all run by white supremacists).
But blocking by TLD (in this case all instances with .social URLs, which probably means more the majority of the Fediverse traffic) is definitely new to me.
