I honestly believe that large instances (thousands of users) are terrible for the fediverse (due to moderation, security, cost, and fracturing due to domain blocks) and that more people / small groups should be running their own instances.

Was wondering what HN thinks about this solution, and if you run your own instance of an activity pub / fediverse server that isn't mastodon which are you using? I've been trying to find something that is easy and clean for a single user instance that could run on a raspberry pi or other tiny low powered setup.
