This long read in The Verge does a remarkable job of describing how Wikipedia's editing community works, the project's strengths and weaknesses, and the threats it faces.

"In a time of misinformation, in a time of suppression, having this place where people can come and bring knowledge and share knowledge, that is a statement."
How Wikipedia survives while the rest of the internet breaks
How the world’s largest encyclopedia became the factual foundation of the web, but now it’s under attack from the right wing, tech billionaires, and AI.Josh Dzieza (The Verge)

To be honest I'd do these strategies in reverse. Working together, then growing alternatives, then breaking up as your LAST step.
My building has a Facebook group and I wish it were not so. I found it nearly impossible to get 200+ people onto a different solution at the same time, not to mention the accessibility issues that arise when moving to a less-polished platform.
Maybe one day I will succeed but I'm going to have to get to know my neighbors even better first

Freedom from adverts being pushed to the desktop.
Being able to install and uninstall what I want (ie not having Edge forced on me)
Freedom to customise my desktop. Make it look and feel the way I want.
Knowing that the OS is working for me not a corporation whose sole interest is its share holders, not its customers.
Knowing I am not in walled garden.

on my home server, I have 50 btrfs subvolumes rolling snapshoted every hours because "why not?"; I disable my screen, unload gpu, map on virtio and load vm with passthrough every time I need and fallback at end because of "why not?".

What I like most about Linux is what it DOESN’T do:
It doesn’t spy on me. It doesn’t force me to spend money. It doesn’t deny me access to my hardware or my software. It doesn’t dictate when, where, or HOW I can use my computer.
That’s what they mean when they use the term “free.”
Not “free” as in money, because one should always support the development of the software they use whenever possible, but free as in FREEDOM.
