There's a difference between running your own instance for you or your own staff and running one for the public.

I should be able to follow @[email protected] - that'll tell me that the account is who it says it is.

But mastodon.daily-planet.info absolutely shouldn't have a public registration.

Running a social network isn't for the faint-hearted. But running a publishing platform should be as simple as running a website.
