Macroblogging on the Fediverse (kbin.social)

I've been exploring and comparison-shopping fediverse server projects recently. I'd like to do some tech blogging for some personal software/hosting projects. The Fediverse feels like a natural fit for tech blogging, considering how relatively tech-savvy the userbase is.

Strangely, though, I've noticed that there isn't much of a presence for macro blogging among all these server projects. Some platforms support relatively feature-rich markup languages, and post size limit is apparently configurable on the instance level for a lot of them, but none of the platforms I've looked at have a UI designed with macro blogging in mind.

Does anyone know of any server projects, either in development or with active running servers, that are designed to support macro blogging?

I've got a list of some of the basic features I'm looking for:

Draft posts
List view of posts
Sorting and filtering posts at the user level
An editing UI that isn't a 150px by 200px rectangle in the center of the screen
Content previews
Decent NSFW content filtering
Threaded replies/comments
Federation (obviously)

@KapmK This morning I was looking at write freely.org, and paper.wf. I'm not sure it's exactly what you want, but they may help someone else who's looking for something similar!
