You don't have to. You can use someone elses instance, just as you are on Lemmy. If the instance you pick goes to shit then you can move to another one.

If someone takes your laptop while it is unlocked rhey can see the logs. It is dangerous to keep them on if you are somewhere like China and use your laptop in a public space.
