Yes, that's a fine start.

However to me 'home' implies either some level of authority/ownership or a relationship with an owner. From my understanding it's much more difficult to run a Mastodon instance than a Discord server so most new users are encouraged to join the big instances. Without a connection to their 'home,' I think the metaphor breaks down. It seems for most people the choice is between joining a general purpose instance or a 'clique' instance focused on a particular identity or subculture.

People don't want formal allegiances to subreddits, Discord servers, or email providers; these are just the spaces they visit and tools they use. And why should I tell a home manager to block someone when I can block them myself?
