Is Kbin a right solution for a blog? (kbin.social)

I'm looking for a simple way of doing blogging. I'm trying several CMSs like Grav, Textpattern... etc., and SSGs like Jekyll but sometimes are limited or too heavy to manage or deal with.

I was thinking if I can use this tool just for me. I mean don't let other users publish but just me. Is this a good tool for that purpose? To be clear: I want to run a blog not a network.

I remember seeing a similar post recently and it didn't seem like there was the ability to restrict posting in a magazine to the creator/mods at the moment: https://kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/t/272000/Magazine-only-I-can-post-to

It's possible another fediverse tool would match more what you are aiming for, kbin might not be too far off but it and lemmy definitely seem more about focusing on communities / discussions than people. Definitely check out mastodon / firefish / akkoma

Edit: I do want to say I think kbin could be good for that in the future; RheingoldRiver and others have put in a bunch of good issues about improving how microblogs are displayed / discovered, but I find it still a bit rough to notice microblog posters at the moment
