   Mastodon is decentralised.

   I have 45,465 followers on my single-person instance.

   Of those, 13,180 are on mastodon.social.

   So roughly 30% of my followers are on mastodon.social.

   Also, I follow 11,392 people.

   Of those, 1,864 are on mastodon.social.

   If mastodon.social blocks my instance, I lose 30% of my followers and I’m forced to stop following 1,864 people.
