What’s the weird fetish with open source projects deliberately choosing closed source corporate-hosted proprietary public Git hosting sites?

Just because source is available does not mean it's an open source license. It's still proprietary, free to use for non-commercial use only.
Is there a description of what this is and what it is for for dumdums? I don't really get what it is from the website.
Same - I'm very curious as to what it is and how it's used.
I hate the jargon used in some of these app descriptions.
example: "Enhance workflow with integrated collaboration and intelligent software agents to automate your processes."
WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU DO
This is how I feel about so many things I try to read up on.
It's a more advanced note taking app, like apple notes, logseq, obsidian, notion, etc. aka PKMS (Personal Knowledge Management System).
It's a direct competitor to Notion, but also other knowledge management apps (Obsidian, Evernote, etc.)
It's a note taking app. A bit like logseq but 100% open source.
I just wish collaboration wasn't a year away.
Is logseq not open source?
logseq is open source, but not their sync backend. You can use syncthing, but I would prefer that the native sync would be open.
Interesting, didn't know that. Thank you!
Just to clarify the entire Logseq app is open source including the sync mechanism, the server backend to receive the sync endpoint and store the data isn't. I use Syncthing (FOSS and cross platform) to sync noted between my devices.
