Yeah, but your instance can't communicate with other Signal server instances, so it's pointless.

No it's not pointless. It might just be pointless for the "socializing with random people" use case.

Yes it is, because you can't join two servers at the same time. You run your own server, I run mine and we can't communicate until one of us decides to drop our whole network and join the other server.
