I mention communities here because otherwise this quickly folds into more rugged individualism: "to be a Good Citizen, you must have these core competencies." That's not what I want to encourage.

So many of us rely on the convenience of prepackaged internet services for the same reason we rely on prepackaged food: we either don't have the time or energy to devote to doing it ourselves (likely because we have to spend much of that time and energy on working to afford necessities), or we don't have the skills to do it ourselves (possibly because building those skills would require an investment of time and money, and as previously mentioned, those are needed for survival). You can't really break that on your own, because the stress of trying to live a life as an isolated individual is the source of the problem.

No one person can know everything. I don't know how to knit. My skills in house electrical work are basic, and in plumbing, minimal. There is so much out there to know and practice that I don't expect any human to be good at it all.

This can't be broken as individuals. We break it as communities, by sharing our surpluses and learning from others.
