I would love a social network powered by the users that are using it. Maybe also running something like serverless functions on the client devices.
You might want to check the Earthstar project: https://earthstar-project.org/ They are working on that. Right now, it's super early; they are building the foundations. Peer-to-peer is unfortunately much more difficult to code then servers, because less people have built the building-blocks required, and because mobile phones are actively making it hard to run peer-to-peer apps.
