But we already have Mastodon for the same purpose?
it seems like maybe this is compatible, and is easier to host for a single user instance
I'm not an expert at infrastructure stuff but "single user instance" sounds quite a bit like "peer to peer", "trackable" and "IP leak" to me
Yep, that would be the ip adres of my €5 a month VPS somewhere in an german datacenter.
No I meant the user's IP
How would that be leaking, home hosters aside?
It can be intercepted by the owner of the server that the instance the user is registered on uses
Which happen to be myself. And the datacenter facility owner.
It's the same concept as running a mastodon server but turning off registration. No more or less secure.
