Wikipedia, OpenStreetMap, the Internet Archive, Mastadon/ActivityPub, Peertube, git and company, and something like but more open than StackOverflow (which feels like it should be a part of Wikipedia in some way, shape, or form). NNTP is suggested, but feels like it's been superseded by superior mechanisms (although there's much work to be done as part of the Distributed Web movement [1] [2] [3], which would also be applicable).

TLDR Open abstractions on top of open data trivially and rapidly distributed.
