    I sometimes wish there was something like a 1-person microblogging platform, like blogging on wordpress, but with a twitter/mastodon type feel. Only 'author's can post original tweet-like posts, readers can reply/like. I control the install.

        Wordpress and twitter currently both have a bit of a problem with censoring feminists. Wordpress: https://twitter.com/ystriya/status/1063815396405334017 … Twitter: https://twitter.com/ystriya/status/1057410441629044739 … Hope your platform would be better.

        too big and complex... meant for a community not an individual http://refactorcamp.org  experience is fun and better than twitter for blog-like thoughts but still not a solo microblog

        Self hosted WordPress with P2 theme might work.
