I'm also worried by this, which is precisely why I'm considering a move to Obsidian from Notion. I'm pretty much writing everything in Markdown by now, including my personal blog.

How is moving from Obsidian to Notion relevant? They're basically the same thing?

The difference is with a local-first editor (like Obsidian) you hopefully get to keep your files if the company stops being nice

I keep losing my files with cloud-first systems. I had a trove of notes in Evernote and I don't even remember which email I used to open it, nor if they are there anymore. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't lose local-first markdown files, as I could do the same thing I do with code: keep them in git, and then have a cloud backup for good measure.

Ah, i didn't realize you said TO obsidian. For some reason I read it as the other way around, which is why it really confused me.
