Yeah, totally makes sense -- and FWIW the way you're interacting with the ActivityPub network, as a single-user sovereign instance, is basically how Nostr works.

It's just not how "most" of the Mastodon network is, where mods dictate the content choices for everyone on that server.

These are both better than centralized social media. And FWIW Nostr is still pretty small and buggy. I'm amazed that this protocol bridge even works when it does. 😁
