   @empiricism you can totally do it! that’s the way the activitypub protocol is best used. The focus on ‘instances’ outside of your control is something mastodon added on top that (IMHO) is worse for end-users.

   @freedomboxfndn tooling/devices can help you self-host on a little home server that you can plug into wall. Then you can point any domain name to your home server.

     It would be great if you could run a mastodon instance for yourself (1 user), entirely on a home computer. Similar to a peer to peer (p2p) network.

     In other words, not be regulated by an unknown administration. Although, people can still choose to block any address (network regulation)

     I realise that such a system wouldn't be server business model, but, it could be done. #software

     Of course, when the computer was off, the person & posts wouldn't be accessible.
