There's a couple contenders but they're not very good. I think most FOSS people don't WANT a facebook alternative; they'd prefer to keep their IRL identity separate from the internet. And the people who don't care also don't care enough to want to go federated.

There's spacehey as a myspace alternative though. That's pretty neat but it's full of teenagers unfortunately.
