Does it make sense to host your own instance of lemmy for one user? (slrpnk.net)

I’m asking in general but also in terms of privacy. Is it worse that you’re more easily connected to your real identity through owning the domain?

But the admin can defederate from your instance? Then you do not see any content anymore from theirs and they don't see you. But maybe I misunderstood you.

Parent comment is on mander.xyz. You are on dbzer0.com. The admins for either instance can prevent your account from interacting with the other.

If you start lemmy.ddash.com, the other admin can still block you, but you are the admin of your own instance. You are the second admin.

I think you’re right.
