I'm going to research the fediverse protocols by my first impressions are incredibly lackluster. I guess what I want is the "lonerverse". I want simple easy chunky posting like Twitter, to my own site, and you can pull my feed if you want *without talking to me* just like RSS.

You may want to try writefreely/write.as. It's a great way to publish content to the Fediverse and others can consume your feed, but afaik there is no talk-back that you seem to be concerned about.
To me it's the height of narcissism to think that I want the things people I follow to show up in my platform. If I follow someone that's just me looking. This is like, to follow someone you invite them into your house and let them answer your phone.
