    Here I thought I could create a server and then use that as a instance only to hold my profile where I could then use that to interact across the fediverse

      You can absolutely do that, just make the profile registration private

            Yes, but people can still browse content from your instance without logging in. There is nothing stopping people from viewing illegal material through your instance.

              Section 230 makes this but an issue. It would be like suing the phone company. Especially if you don’t moderate. If you moderate then it can be said what is left had your endorsement. If you don’t moderate, then you are simply a victim of vandalism.

            Ok, I think I might be misunderstanding the issue; so it’s more of bad actors rather than a copy of images in cache?

      Yeah I have wanted that from day one. I want it to work like mail my identity on my domain that I can bring anywhere, store my comments, posts, subscriptions and that’s it, maybe direct messages or explicitly saved posts. Not every damn post that I read / subscribe.
