It's shared computer/server. You got your SSH key and log in.
It has some social features inside - BBJ (command line driven forum), IRC chat, "timeline" command (think of local twitter on command line).
However main difference is that it's up to you how can you interact it others. You can setup some scripts/games for others, or just present yourself in your public_html folder. I have created gallery of those homepages and these are very diverse - https://tilde.town/~severak/gallery/ - so much good stuff hidden there.

For example - I have created cronjob, that builds youtube playlist out of songs added by !sotd command on IRC - https://tilde.town/~severak/town_radio.html (for technical description see https://tilde.town/~severak/sotds.html)
