The FOSS community is big enough that most things will have a non fucked foss counterpart if that happens. Of course hopefully that doesn't need to happen

Maybe a new form to navigate the web will emerge from the FOSS community. I really hope all of us join this to support the new web that we need to make to fight back the big tech greed. Some through code expertise and others through money donates to support the projects that we love. But I don't want to be much idealistic about the future. I' m just dreaming high

Foss needs to break compatibility with WEI clients in the web servers. Yes, big companies will work around it, but it would do two things.

  1. Be enough of a pain for people to notice the web had split.
  2. Send a loud message that embrace and extend is not acceptable.
