They ban the domains they know. The rest carry on as normal.
They can’t exactly ban the protocol, so mastodon posts from other instances will be cached on the unbanned instances.
The main issue would be instances hosted in Nepal. They’re probably fucked.
it wouldn't
but yes - what Nebulys said
they can ban whatever they want, creating a new instance takes minutes, so unless they just have someone combing the entire internet 24/7 for all possible instances - they can't ban it completely

At what point will the internet just be what is "allowed", like in some places in the world they have internet that has a tier that is only Facebook services, everything else is blocked unless you pay, so technically it would be possible for ISPs to only service allowed sites and apps.
