In response to Joe Biden and the White House enabling ActivityPub federation via Threads, a number of people asked: "Why didn't the White House just self-host their own Mastodon server?"

Here's some very basic musings on what it would take for that to happen. and what some of the hurdles are. Don't consider it a definitive answer, but a jumping-off point.

The server does not have to be open for registration.

Sure, but I'm thinking they'd make some noise on their own, and/or infiltrate other instances en masse (potentially).

Ah, I didn't realize what you meant by Team 45.
