One of the common misnomers around the migration away from toxic tech stacks is that the options are either 1) services managed by a company or 2) everyone #selfhosting themselves.

There is however an often overlooked 3rd option of community-scaled infrastructure. Here a group identifies their needs, plans & deploys to meet them. Much like a community garden, that infrastructure has people skilled & dedicated to its upkeep in providing for that group, working bees & skillshare as needed.

There are organizations doing community IT infrastructure in various forms: @datacoop @deuxfleurs @konstellationen and several others. There's a matrix room for exchanging ideas, anyone working on something like this DM me and I'll get you in touch with the admins.
