The Small web?

The small web is gathering momentum, helped in part by the temper tantrums of the oligarch who's running of one of the web's largest social media platforms into the ground.

The small web is attempting to reclaim the internet by allowing users control over all they publish using self hosted and self operated platforms. Mastodon is one such service, there are others.
