Which Lemmy instances are anti-corporation? (kbin.social)

Concerning the current debate on Meta, I‘m a bit concerned over where I should make my home. I don‘t want corporations to intrude and ruin my just newly found space of freedom. They would just offer "help" and then centralise and privatise and infest it with ads, data collection and profit motive. I need to search for the right instance to combat that.

The place is huge though and I don‘t know where to start my search, I don‘t even know the stance of the kbin admin yet.

So I come to you good people to ask if you can recommend any instance where the owner has made public a strong and clear anti-corporation stance?

Edit: In case anyone stumbles on this, I found two promising instances by myself so far:

https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/

The r/piracy instance, with the admin saying he is anarchist and piracy being the natural enemy of both corporations and governments, it seems likely to take such stance.

https://slrpnk.net/

"Solarpunk" instance, with part of their manifesto reading:

Solarpunk wants to counter the scenarios of a dying earth, an insuperable gap between rich and poor, and a society controlled by corporations. Not in hundreds of years, but within reach.

Much more positive than my doomer brain is used to, but I dig it! A lot!

I hope you are right, I do enjoy the entirety of the fediverse and I would be fine to visit the pro-corporation spaces who aren’t owned by one a bit as well.

I still think I need to find a strongly opposed place to hang out though just in case anyway.

If nobody has mentioned it yet, there is a list of instances somewhere of admins who are pledging to defederate from Meta if they open a site. That would be a good start.
