The web server + database + PHP model works in both situations where someone
might run it locally as well as in other cases on dirt cheap hosting (without
needing your web host to install "the GNU Social application") -- PHP is
ubiquitous -- and has the added benefit of not having to divide the focus of the
community by maintaining more than one codebase for now. That isn't to say that
things can't branch out later, but that's /later./
