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 This is what I do. I'm not connected to all instances so my federated timeline isn't really big, but it looks ok. More I follow people, more it will grow.
