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.

> if you run your own instance of an activity pub / fediverse server that isn't mastodon which are you using? I've got my main instance as Akkoma[1] (was Pleroma, both in Elixir), a secondary as GotoSocial[2] (Go), and a couple of Honks[3] (Go) for various other things. You might want to look at https://github.com/guysoft/PleromaPi https://github.com/guysoft/PleromaPi which is a specific Pi image for a Pleroma instance.
