Just to chip in here; I'm the lead of /r/TheMotte, a debate and discussion subreddit aimed at allowing almost any position to be argued as long as it's done with civility and kindness. (A work in progress, of course :) ) We've been talking about escaping also, and we've actually started work on a Tildes fork that we can host on our own (https://github.com/themotte/tildes, you are welcome to fork or join development.)

However, /r/GoldandBlack has been making their own plans - see here - and their approach, which I admit I'm kinda liking, is to start with a federated backbone (lotide, in their case) and build a new interface on top of it (which they're calling Hoot). This has the big advantage that a lot of communities could jump ship at once and form a sort of metacommunity, each running their own server but cross-accessible via federation, without any individual community being beholden to anyone else's rules.
