This is a joke, right?

These "normal" users are not the ones setting up the server, they're the
ones typing in your URL and visiting your site. No special skill is
needed to visit a site or interact with it.
I'm sure 'normal users' can interact with a UI that does not look like
facebook (for the love of all that is good, please let at least that be
true...).

Even setting up your own server isn't that hard, in case you're talking
about the creation and administration of the server.

I'll hand it to you that Diaspora is not a solution though.
