What user owned communication network ever caught on en mass and is used by most of the establishment?
Email.
Enterprises usually own their servers, so I would grant that caveat, but even that is going away with cloud providers.

Email.
Not even close - at least not for consumers. See: @aol, @yahoo, @hotmail, @comcast, @gmail etc.... Enterprises usually own their servers, so I would grant that caveat, but even that is going away with cloud providers.
Try sending a tweet to a Weibo user and see how that works out.
The Feed is fantastic for live, on going events. I don't see how it can be replaced. Of course Twitter has meandered in using an algorithm in their timeline, which is just a huge mistake. The entire point of Twitter is that it's the world as it is happening now; it's still shocking that Jack, etc don't understand this fact and are continually trying to take the very things that made Twitter unique out of the platform…

The whole point of Jack taking over is that what made Twitter unique was not good enough for Wall Street.
Wall Street, Jack and their like promise things like "connect with friends" but it's really "look at content that makes us money". The worst part? We helped them do it to ourselves.
It's time to think differently about infrastructure software, including social media sites. We can do better, and we can do it in a way that makes all our lives richer, not just the founders and investors.
"Enter the curated feed" We could call it a "blog", and the people who curate the feeds could be called "bloggers".

Of course being user owned, by definition users should be allowed to outsource their email service to large companies, and they do, because it's a lot cheaper that way.
But an email server they own themselves, with their own rules, own display preferences, compatible with billions of other email accounts, is well within their reach. And millions of people do just that.
Twitter rolled out the algorithmic TL to my account the other day. Of the first 12 tweets on my TL, 8 were really badly targeted ads,[1] and the other four was one of my friends liveblogging a TV show I don't care about. Twitter shuffled the order of her tweets in doing so, of course. The promise is that algorithmic TL will show you the best organic tweets, and relevant ads. In practice, the ads are trash and the org…
