… important part. I think you are mistaken. You still need to pay someone to host the service, but that someone can be a non profit or coop who operates the open source software for you. For example, Karakeep is open source ( https://github.com/karakeep-app/karakeep/ ) but I pay monthly for it so I don't have to maintain an instance. At any time, I can dump my data, startup the open source software elsewhere, and I'm off to the races.

It is much useful that I don't worry about losing stuff now. [1] https://github.com/asciimoo/hister/ [2] https://github.com/karakeep-app/karakeep
