Hypothetically, let's say I spun up my own Mastodon instance, and then I registered my own account on it, and then I froze registrations at just me. This way, I'd be hosting my own account but nobody elses'

Is this a really stupid idea? Does it break a bunch of mastodon features? Would it be a giant pain in the ass to run?

@eqdw Don't know how much work it is to maintain one, I'm interested too. There are certainly some one-person, closed instances so I doubt it breaks anything: https://instances.mastodon.xyz/
