Of course they can't compete on the adversary's field when that adversary has bigger resources and monopoly in many areas.
What I don't understand is why nobody has tried to sell the idea of an alternative Web to the wider audience?
Like Gemini, only without the "minimal" and "non-commercial hobbyist" parts.
Without trying to follow Google/MS/etc on the path intentionally chosen to not be passable for others.
That would be excellent, but trying to convince everybody to move to a "new web" would be extremely difficult in itself, even before we start to think about the likes of Google that very much want to maintain the status quo
Just leverage the app mentality. They do have a hundred apps for every stupid thing. Just one more.
