You might still have to use a gmail account for this though, depending on if your email works with it.
There's also Nextcloud which would be self hosted.
And the extremely low tech solution of just having them offline in a foss contacts app and exporting backups from that app to your storage in case you lose them.
If you're gonna drop this kind of comment please get in the habit of sourcing your claims. No one should take your word for this without at least knowing where your claims are coming from, show your sources.
I assume you are getting this from amnesty international reports.
I disagree with your definition of original source. If AP writes an article, then Yahoo news takes that article and attributes it to the AP and links to the AP article, and publishes it, that yahoo news article does not become the original source the AP article is the origanal source.
In the case we are discussing the Mondoweiss article is a full day older, I don't understand where you are coming from. If you want to post the reprinted version that is fine, but you are not posting the original article when you post a reprinted version.
There isn’t original source per se
If you would rather post the Truthout version that is fine, but the original article for this article spefically is the Mondoweiss one, it is the original source and was submitted there by the author, it is simply redistributed by Truthout. I don't know what you think redistribution is at that point if you think there isn't an original source.

It says this at the bottom of the article. They just reprint articles from sources cool with them doing that. If you look at an article they actually wrote it says

On August 5, an angry President Reagan carried out his threat, and the federal government began firing the 11,359 air-traffic controllers who had not returned to work. In addition, he declared a lifetime ban on the rehiring of the strikers by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). On August 17, the FAA began accepting applications for new air-traffic controllers, and on October 22 the Federal Labor Relations Authority decertified PATCO.
This is the finding out part when you do the fucking around.
During World War II, in which he was rejected for military service, he was associated with the left wing of the British Labour party, but didn't much sympathise with their views, for even their reckless version of socialism seemed too well organised for him. He wasn't much affected, apparently, by the Nazi brand of totalitarianism, for there was no room within him except for his private war with Stalinist communism. Consequently, when Great Britain was fighting for its life against Nazism, and the Soviet Union fought as an ally in the struggle and contributed rather more than its share in lives lost and in resolute courage, Orwell wrote Animal Farm which was a satire of the Russian Revolution and what followed, picturing it in terms of a revolt of barnyard animals against human masters. He completed Animal Farm in 1944 and had trouble finding a publisher since it wasn't a particularly good time for upsetting the Soviets. As soon as the war came to an end, however, the Soviet Union was fair game and Animal Farm was published. It was greeted with much acclaim and Orwell became sufficiently prosperous to retire and devote himself to his masterpiece, 1984.
I did not know it was finished in 1944, that is wild, no wonder it's taught in American schools.
Just letting you know because you probably care about this kind of thing, this article was originally from Mondoweiss, in an effort to avoid reposting I would probably just use the original source over Truthout, when it is an article recirculated by them, I posted this 10 minutes before you with the Mondoweiss article.

I would just type "photo editor" into F-Droid and browse, nothing on F-Droid will have ads. If you don't have F-Droid installed follow this.
I'm sympathetic to people who were talking directly to a federal agent, except in the case of pedophilia. God forbid they just arrest the person for running an illegal business and not try to entrap them. By doing that they probably contributed to him getting the pardon in the first place.
I said in a foss one, I don't think the foss developers are conspiring to get rid of your contacts, maybe for apple you might have to hope the developer doesn't get burnt out, but the android foss community is pretty robust, but if you're that paranoid just put them in a txt file or a spreadsheet.
