Self hosted social networking and email platform that runs on Digital Ocean, OpenStack, etc. Total cost to user is around $5/mo hosting and $1/mo DNS for ad-free privacy-invasion-free Internet.

Ironic that you mention hosting resources, because in my view getting independent from those hosting services is itself the fundamental challenge.
