Yes I think an open source alternative will come one day.  I personally
have worked on an open source decentralized social network and chat app:

Here's some screenshots:

Which is based on Tim Berners-Lee's new decentralized platform, Solid :

(PS it's awesome!) :)

It's just a lot of work for one person.  And the free software alternatives
out there dont really provide enough decentralization to offer the users
freedom.  I'll continue to work on this, and all my development is
primarily done with ubuntu desktop / phone / tablet as a target.  Im hoping
that this will start to be usable later this year.

What would be needed to deliver this kind of thing more easily to Ubuntu is
to enhance the "Public" folder a bit so that it can have access to the
web.  Then let 1000 apps bloom.
