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./
