 Mo> What's a "tilde"?

A small *nix system set up online as a community using old-school tools
like email, nntp, local message boards, Gemini, Gopher and personal web
servers. You log in with an SSH client and get a command line shell.

Back in the day, web providers would often provide web space to user
accounts, with the URL being http://yourisp.com/~username, and the ~
stuck as a name for the concept.

This guy explains it better than I could:

 Mo> What's "smol"?

A throwback to limited javascript, hand-coded, static blogs - Web 1.0,
if you will.

http://smolweb.org describes it well.
