The Raspberry Pi is a small cheap computer system that almost everyone can afford for their computer projects (it's the crystal radio of the internet age). Mastodon, as we've discussed previously, is a decentralized version of Twitter - so decentralized you can build one on your Raspberry Pi. Pleroma is a lighter version of Mastodon and recommended for the Raspberry Pi. This website has complete instructions and has the tips you'll really need - for example, how to have an internet address from your home (using freemyip.com) and how to set up secure certificates (using Lets Encrypt). Once you're set up, you can invite your friends to join your own private twitter-style network and connect with other networks (called 'instances', since each one is based on its own instance of Mastodon or Pleroma)..
