A friend asks for advice about getting off Facebook. As it happens, I've been thinking about it as well. Here are some of my thoughts on the issue.
Consider the "publish once, syndicate everywhere" (POSE) model.

Take a look at keyoxide (keyoxide.org) an open source, self hosted service that "allows you to link accounts on various online services and platforms together, prove they belong to you and establish an online identity." For example, here is the Keyoxide's developer's identity:

You can use Bridgy to keep track of mentions on a variety of platforms:
https://brid.gy/
And Telegraph to push mentions to various services:

If you don't expect to write anything too unpopular, hosting with github and any domain registrar is probably fine. Or you can go with hosted services that support indieweb sites (such as Known and Micro.blog):
https://withknown.com/
https://micro.blog/
If you think you might face strong attack for something you write, you might consider using one of the services that specialize in supporting controversial websites.
For example, I like Njalla (http://njal.la/) for domain registration, and Sporestack (https://sporestack.com/) for hosting, since are willing to take some heat to support privacy and free speech. (Njal.la does domain registration for sci-hub.se, for example.)
Other hosts that may be of interest: https://prq.se/ (hosted wikileaks, piratebay) and https://www.bahnhof.se/ (hosted wikileaks, sci-hub).
