Temporarily settled on a self-hosted instance of microblog.pub for impulsive shouts and murmurs, after surveying other options including Mastodon (too resource-heavy) and Pleroma (lightweight but still more fiddle-y than expected). microblog.pub is strictly single-user-only, has a charming, brutalist design that pairs great with <type.cyhsu.xyz> while is still mostly compatible w/ Mastodon’s vernacular. The only major imperfection is the lack of S3 support for attachments (which is bearable b/c img embedding w/ markdown syntax is supported). A quick research finds the project maintained since ~2018, active, and healthy. Recommend.
