The myth goes deeper.
The story of Lisa Holst originating this myth as a spoof fact is also a myth.
Neither the supposed journalists, Lisa Holst, nor the magazine, PC Professional, exist.
The hunt is on for the earliest reference. Probably on a newsnet group.
I used to do it a lot.
Typically this would be responding to someone being provocative.
I decided that they were angry people just trying to make other people angry.
So now I write articles mocking them.

Having tools in matching colours is definitely a sign of youth.
As you get older and lose some, lend some (and the a-hole doesn't return them - yes I'm talking about you John Pinder) then you get some replacements that don't match. Eventually after many years you have an eclectic mix.

Will they learn anything. Nope. They are immune to intelligence (see what I did there?).
Oliphant maintains a minimum block list that most systems take as a starter list.
Each instance admin decides which servers to block for themselves. If you visit the info pages of some systems they will list blocked systems, and there are a lot of them.
There are some very unsavoury communities out there. Blocking usually revolves around how effective moderation is.
As an example you can see a list of servers blocked by mastodonapp.uk on the About page.
I am a donor on various instances.
I'd take a dim view of being eaten.
I'm guessing you haven't been on the #Fediverse very long so not picked up on the ethos of most of the folk who run the various instances.
Most are very protective of what they have created as a community and are definitely not in it for the money. Some are vehemently anti-capitalist.
There are many ways to get rich. Running an instance is not one of them.
