Isnt the beauty of activity pub that you can tenat an instance juat for yourself? That could avoid a lof ot the legal headaches. You could also make it invite only through yourself, your instance doesnt need to be big if everyone elses is.

That would be nice but i don't think it's realistic in the general space. ActivityPub in what i've researched so far is inefficiency for that granularity of P2P. For example I've seen complaints with Mastodon where small instances get ignored on the federating. Which i believe translates to data that comes from those instances taking a long time to get populated on the larger instance. Leaving the smaller instances feeling like they're speaking into the void - as no one replies, because no one can see it.

Instead i think it will shine with many small instances. 500-30k maybe? Still similar issues with federating, but less so than hundreds of thousands of 1person instances.

I'm focusing on what i'm calling micro instances, 50-1000 range i suspect. So we'll see.
