You might be interested in FreeFollow.org [full disclosure, I'm one of the engineers working on it].

It combines the economic model of web hosting (users pay to host spaces, reading is free, and writing in someone else's space is also free), the simple UI of social media (you have a profile and write posts), and the E2EE security model of 1Password (we actually implemented their published security model). It's also a non-profit so there's no pressure from owners to exploit users.

It's aimed primarily at parents of young kids who are annoyed at constantly sharing via text groups, but non-parents are also surprisingly into it.

Independent social media run in a cost-effective way and actually helping their community is the future. I really hope non-American devs learn this because most American devs are too busy trying to get rich.

You have some similar ideas to the encrypted social network in the Peergos protocol. We'd love to chat and see if there is scope for collaboration.

When I click "Join the waitlist" on Firefox I see an empty beige box on an otherwise blank page.

Thanks for letting us know. Unfortunately we haven't been able to reproduce that with the current version of Firefox, but if you'd like to email us at [e-mail] we'll add you to the list manually.

In Edge I get a big red screen yapping about the site being unsafe.

Since it's E2EE, do you have a limit on the number of members in a group/friends?

[arch_deluxe]

Nope.
