Your increased trust in these stores is motivated by .... what governance and audit structure?

yes, its a devils-advocate position. You might (for instance) have high trust because you know them from hacker traeff you've been on, f2f. I can't have this a-priori knowledge.

From here, this looks no better than "trust google" and in some dimensions looks significantly worse. Of course for the primary goal of "distrust google" it works very well.

(well done btw, its a good, complete list, and has apps I think I too would put on my need-list)

Nice, I've also thought about moving all my notes and todo stuff to Org Mode.

I did figure out a way to sync org mode files between laptop and phone with low latency (unlike with Syncthing) running Unison inside Arch Linux inside Termux, using git to automatically merge conflicts. It's a little crazy, but seems to work? Maybe will do a write-up at some point.
