What is the best alternative to twitter, from the perspective of:
  • Single user
  • Daily broadcasts of content around a particular topic
  • Looking to build an audience who can consume (and engage with) that content
  • Self ownership of identity
  • Self ownership of content
After looking around I'm wondering if the answer is simply a static blog site that provides an RSS Feed... Although with this you have no idea of your audience, and no obvious way for them to engage - without some comment management tool and corresponding database.
Other options:
  • Matrix (not sure if it has good SEO though)
  • Mastodon (but seems expensive to run for just a single user)

Sounds like a regular blog. There are lightning plugins available for wordpress

Check out Zion. They are trying to build a decentralized Twitter where each user runs their own node (or you can rent a node from them). They have an app on both iOS and Android stores. https://zion.fyi/#communities

Mastodon and Pleroma are compatible, but Pleroma is more lightweight and can run on a cheap VPS. Also maybe WriteFreely: https://writefreely.org/
Matrix is a messenger, better for 1:1 conversations or group chats.
