Just wanted to ask your opinion before I waste too much time in a new open source project that nobody wants.

Lemmy, Mastodon and Co are federated but users are concentrated on a few large instances which somewhat contradicts the original idea.

What do you think of a truly decentralised app where each instance is one user.

I am aware that there many reasons why this is a bad idea but I would like to hear from you why I should leave it, or encourage me to try it out.

    Sounds like a good idea if you want to have around 5 active users.

    Sorry for the sarcasm but I don’t like the idea that only people privileged with a VPS can join.

      No worries :) it is very likely true. Alternatively I could think of a managed option where each user has an instance in a separate container with separate sqlite database and with different subdomain.
