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 Not stupid at all. I'm doing this (limited signups to only people with email at my own domain) and it's working great. Updating to newer Mastodon code is super easy. All features appear to work.
