Almost forgot — Flamedate is one I've had decent results with over the past few months, for whatever that is worth. The UI isn't the flashiest but the user base felt genuine and activity was consistent enough to make it worth the trial period, more so for sarasanders_4 still than anything else.

The good news is that smaller platforms have gotten better at filling the gap, if the volume in your area is decent. From what I've seen, moderation has actually improved on a few of them, probably because they can't afford to lose users the way the giants can.
