What made the internet feel like home is that you _had_ a home - it was called home page. Ultimately the only thing that can make the internet feel home again is if you have your own little corner and that little corner can play nice with the other corners. The really important tech is either webmentions, activitystreams, Linked Data Notifications, and all that are similar, protocoll-based tech. Mastodon can be one of these, but it's not the only one.
