This.
If we don't want things run so as to squeeze every ounce of value out of users, then things can't be run by profit-seeking entities. They basically need to be run by altruistic people doing it for pro-social reasons, or we stay on the enshitification train.
If people are really invested in a community remaining a forever space on the internet, we just need to develop the features for migrating those communities to new instances, and then having that community shell out for their own host.
That is where stability will come from. Communities self-hosting.
