So this is great and everything, but I've got to think that instances with thousands of users isn't really the way forward, rather, <1000 but many more instances. Remove points of failure, remove censorship, remove the need for one individual to bare massive hosting costs...
If someone comes up with an almost hands-off, one-click service for setting up instances of a limited size for a fixed cost per month, it would absolutely make a killing...
@orielle There already is such a service. From the creator of all of this himself.

@orielle @turi like, what would it take to — and I can see the literal issues with this forming in my head — reduce an instance to literally a USB stick or a plug computer? that you can plug in, run a configuration from the browser, and that's it? it might only have half a dozen user IDs, or maybe just one person. a single dumb appliance, maybe built out of... idk, a RasPi? or one of those cheap HDMI stick computers? can it be done? *should* it?
