<p>my 2p, </p>
<p>On secure comms<br>
</p>
<p>have a look at keybase.io, it provides end to end secure
communication, not linked to a sim card, will also run on desktops
(native) and provides for encrypted file sharing, team/P2P chat
and encrypted git repos. You dont have to link it to any social
media profiles, but it does help for identification purposes.
Dont lose your last device, as you wont be able to reclaim your
old accounts information if you lose all your devices. <br>
</p>
<p>On FB replacements</p>
<p>if the current news has any impact it will fracture the market
for a little while until another large corporate takes over.
Reach is key and only an organisation with deep pockets can find
the marketing to generate the reach. Sad, but true. <br>

P2P systems do get round the server cost problem, and peoples'
habituation to installing apps on smartphones means there is an
opening to a system that works based round something you have to
install..<br>
<br>
Plenty of other technical problems I'm sure<br>

Servers, power and server admin all cost real money.
I don't know what the answer is (clearly) but just making a prettier FOSS web app doesn't seem to be the way out of this.
I'm hoping something like <a href="https://www.maidsafe.net/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="outline:0px;background-color:transparent;color:rgb(102,0,153);text-decoration:underline" moz-do-not-send="true">https://www.maidsafe.net</a> will disrupt the way we think of web infrastructure, then it might be possible to build ubiquitous privacy respecting apps.
