Yes. It's in their database init code:

That feels like overreach, no?

It's bullshit cowardice.

That's a relief. I'm guessing the admins have to remove the instance from the block list first?

Yes, probably. What I guess is that the code above just sets up the block list at setup, but then of course the admins can revise it as they see fit.
