if every user self hosted their own #mastodon instance then,
Cons:
- local timeline would be meaningless,
- you would need to rely on interest based searches to find community
- if you belong to a vibrant, enjoyable instance you’d loose the effort-free association
Pros:
- it would be decentralised
- you can avoid being marginalised due to your association
- my experience is not determined by you joining the same instance
- I/you control your privacy and data
