Interesting. Is it protocol-compatible with other mastodon instances? (I'm not very familiar with how these fediverse sites work.)

It is compatible since it's using the exact same codebase, but practically everyone on the mainstream fediverse has blocked them, and I suspect they probably will turn off federation.

I'd think it'll just disable the federation API.

Mastodon already has blacklists to prevent abuse from certain servers, and given Trump's target audience, the block would probably be mutual.
