Great question Abdulcelil.

Here are my personal thoughts:

I would recommend Hashnode as it provides excellent tools and a productive environment for bloggers. You get a dev domain for free, and if you want(I feel you must), you can map it to any custom domain of your choice. It is where you get the complete freedom of an independent blogger owning a blog on own domain.

I have mentioned a few tools in this article. As a blogger, you may need a bit more support than just content creation. Be it analytics, newsletter, ability to customize your blog/articles, and many more features may help many of your motivating factors. So, it would be best if you gave it a try.

Coming to the community & support, Hashnode is comparatively new, and dev.to has a more significant community and user base. I have found the Hashnode community is very supportive of the content creators who just getting started.

I usually publish my articles on my Hashnode powered blog and republish them elsewhere, including dev.to. Dev.to has a great community, and we don't want to miss the opportunity to share and learn from here.

Theoretically, you could buy any domain and redirect it to your DEV account too.
