As a dev, I'm still waiting for the basic, single-binary, self-contained Rust/Go/Nim app that has been audited and is fairly locked down. Something I can passively run without a lot of drama.

Like hacker news, I don't need one-thousand-and-one cool ui tricks. Just a simple way to share text and photos with people. There should be a pretty easy way to ensure something like that could be audited to avoid every known injection issue (XSS, CSFR, SQL injection, heartbleed, CRIME, etc..)

Currently, when I look at OwnCloud and Mastodon I just picture Wordpress nightmares.

As an aside, I'm still beyond disappointed that the Activity Streams spec did not even mention the word 'encryption' one time.

I self-host GoToSocial, which is a Go implementation that is lightweight and minimalist. It might not meet all your demands, but it is good enough for me. I set it an forget it and it works. I guess it'll hit 1.0 this year.
I'm really happy to see learn about GoToSocial, thanks for sharing I'll be investigating this evening.
