Are you looking specifically for blogging *service* alternatives? Because blogs themselves are very easy to self-host, and there are a lot of good options. Off the top of my head:
* Netlify
* GitHub pages
* GitLab pages
* Neocities
* Wordpress.org

And the first few can all be combined with open-source static site generators (#gutenberg, #hugo, #jeckyll, #gatsby, etc.).

My own blog (https://www.codesections.com/blog) is an example of this stack (Gutenberg + Netlify)
