Random question; would it be possible to create a private social network inside Nostr, that has no contact with (most of) the existing population?

So basically the same logic as charging per unit for electricity, or water, or landfill collection while not charging for recycling, to discourage waste. In all four cases, the logic is sound as far it goes, but it only works in a situation where everyone has roughly equal access to wealth.
In other words, not the world be live in.

Follow up question, what would be the advantage of this over setting up a non-federating fediverse server, or a Discourse forum, for that matter?
