like for example: react, C# WebM, WebP, av1, and many more
some parts that big tech made, are really hard to replace, due to them, being complex or fundamental to a speific system
how would we replace them (i hope there are existing replacements for the examples i talked about)?


Open Source, Does Not Guarantee That it wont be enshittifed, and also nobody would have the resources to build a fork without funding
and even if we do fork it, it is a entire city’s worth of work
but entire cities of volunteers already work on most of the systems you mentioned
except this happens quite frequently
Then fork the last unshitified version. You don’t need to build a fork. You just fork it, and worst case scenario is that you have a version that didn’t go to shit.
