Are there any downsides to hosting your own instance?

I'm curious about this, I have a server that I used to use for a Minecraft server, but it has been shut off for a while.

What would be the downside of hosting your own instance? Maybe it would be automatically defederated from other instances?

  • it won't be automatically defederated, but you won't have a cache built up, meaning that some older posts in communities you visit, as well as older comments won't show up at first.

    Though, unless you also want to implement a ruleset and moderate the instance (in addition to doing legal stuff), I would advise keeping it closed to yourself.
