A personal facebook still needs to talk with others' personal facebooks.

I tried to solve this problem using derivative regular expressions as graph queries

(there are other solutions, I admit this is just a plug, but it will be great if it could gain traction)

What you - and the personal facebook case - are really describing is IndieWeb, and already developing movement of home-building your social media and linking with others implementing open protocols.

The main issue just now is that writing (or deploying) IndieWeb platforms and hosting them is the preserve of geeks, and it will not take off and displace current platforms until we can make it trivial for Mom and Dad to join us.
