I run a Mastodon instance. This morning I blocked Purism's server for openly declaring that they plan to be free-speech absolutists who will not bother with any kind of moderation at all, which my years on the net has made me feel is akin to founding a city and declaring you will not have a sewer. This afternoon I preemptively blocked a couple guesses at what Gab's instance will be named. If and when I hear that Gab's instance is actually running and is using a name that doesn't match my guesses, I'll block that one too.
It's really not a big thing to me. I've been blocking Pleromas run by people with anime girl avatars who like to post swastikas for the entire time I've been running an instance. This is just a bigger one.
Your theory about how this will sort out in terms of federation topology matches mine.
