I'm getting really tired of trying to run away from big tech, only to be ensnared again by the greed and/or naivety of sites who ultimately cave to the whims of big tech.

Mastodon has already caved, and the silence of lemmy's and kbin's developers over this matter isn't exactly reassuring. Since I more or less still have my bags packed from leaving reddit, what are some other communities I could try that would be more resilient to corporate encroachment?

There's definitely some nuance, and I'm very much not saying that corporations are always perfectly rational or anything. I know payment processors on particular are pretty sensitive to NSFW business out of fear of legal risk for processing child porn.

But I also wouldn't say it's completely detached from actual consumer preferences either. These things are usually multi-faceted.
