I actually don't think that's practical, at this time. Diaspora originally started out with that goal, but quickly moved over to the same server-to-server approach that Appleseed had been using. Just adding the required usability to allow single-users to administer a social networking instance adds a whole ton of complexity to the software. Way more than something like Bittorrent. I think it's possible, at some point, but for now, I think a more conservative server-to-server approach is necessary.
