Yeah, that's nonsense. I've been running my own single-user instance since 2018 and server blocks by other instance administrators have never caused any problems for my use of the Fediverse.

I also follow a bunch of other people who run their own and never see any comments suggesting it's a problem for them either.

My gut feel is that it's true for a specific subset of single user instances.

Those run by people who launched them because they keep getting kicked off decently moderated instances...
