Any suggestions for migrating away from Flickr while preserving my data? Google, etc. don't really seem like they will be any more ethical.

I've been liking Flickr less and less with Yahoo's decline and the tie-in to Yahoo accounts. The only reason I have a Yahoo account is because it was required for Flickr.
For my own uses, been thinking of self-hosting something like Zenphoto on a subdomain.
1-user gsuite account. 1TB for $5/month
GSuite would be Google. I don't think an advertising company is really going to be that much better than Verizon. And if I just want 1TB of online storage I have better options. The question was about a "photo sharing" application not unlike Flickr.
MediaGoblin perhaps? I've never used it (or Flickr) but it seems like it could be a good fit.
SmugMug possibly although I haven’t looked at them in ages. Premium photosharing sort of fell out of favor as a product category.
Honestly it’s CC search that I value most about Flickr though. I don’t really do the social aspects and I could always find an alternnative personal hosting option.
