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 I believe this is known by the software as 'single user mode' and it starts out being a pain in the ass because your federated timeline is entirely dependent on who your instance follows. In a single user instance, that's you alone (maybe or maybe not with a followbot.)
