The Small Web isn’t about going back to the days of GeoCities. It’s about going forward differently, using modern tech in a non-colonial manner.
It’s not about building clones of Twitter, YouTube, etc. There’s no way anyone can self-host a dozen different services. Instead, it’s about having a single-tenant place on the Web that you own and control without technical knowhow; a place you can add Twitter, YouTube, etc., *features* to.

I've got a NAS that has a bunch of pacakages you can install including nextcloud. It doesn't include what I think you'd need, but something like what you're talking about would be perfect -- it's a big change in looking at the world realizing that our Internet connections are 2-way.
Best of luck to you on that!
:) But this is silly. :) There's no reason to pretend that one can overlay clones of corporate social media and even remotely compete or, for that matter, interest even a dozen people to join what one creates.
I'd love to see Twitter die, for example, but it won't happen.
@NotSoOldHippy It is silly, isn’t it? Hadn’t considered that. Hmm… Good thing I haven’t devoted my life to building it and actually making it happen or anything. Hehe.
