We can never replace Facebook with another Facebook, decentralised or not. It needs to be disrupted orthogonally.
Think of the individual components of Facebook that are keeping people from leaving, and create better stand-alone versions of those. Can they be integrated with other things that Facebook doesn't have? Sort of like the concept of disrupting an incumbent by integrating a different part of the value chain from – except there isn't really a (known) value chain.
We have to find new points of integration, new ways of bundling valuable features that makes the whole more than the sum of its parts. It would likely have social components, and probably be defined as a social network, but don't start in that end. Start with the components.
I don't see any other way Facebook is going away in the short term.
Personally I'm really only there because of work and for discovering events. Oh, and stalking.
