I’ve been a faithful BitWarden subscriber since almost he beginning, but read up on them. They’ve Been making some moves lately that point in a bad direction. Proceed with caution.
VC funding is the enemy. I'm beginning to think it matters as much as the libre/proprietary software distinction.
Any alternatives? Might jump ship before they fully enshitify and hope their users are too entrenched too leave
Currently, there's no entrenchment, as the apps are open source and there are self-hostable servers. You can easily get your data out and even continue using the apps indefinitely (the whole database stays locally in the app, offline; you just loose sync unless you self host a server).
I say that because that is the minimum bar for any alternative. I use them and am not panicking yet, but if I was starting from scratch, I would be cautious about choosing them.
Use a vaultwarden instance. It's bitwarden api compatible.
I think I may be too dumb for that....instance?..

You can use the bitwarden app/extension with this. It's basically a custom backend for bitwarden.
