I'm not an expert at infrastructure stuff but "single user instance" sounds quite a bit like "peer to peer", "trackable" and "IP leak" to me

Yep, that would be the ip adres of my €5 a month VPS somewhere in an german datacenter.

How would that be leaking, home hosters aside?

[-] GolfNovemberUniform@lemmy.ml -2 points 1 year ago

It can be intercepted by the owner of the server that the instance the user is registered on uses

Which happen to be myself. And the datacenter facility owner.

It's the same concept as running a mastodon server but turning off registration. No more or less secure.
