Maker Friendly Etsy Alternative? (kbin.social)

I've not had much luck with this, so... here goes nothing! I love supporting independent creators, but using Etsy leaves a bad taste in my mouth. They're full of drop-shippers, they ruin makers by closing accounts without warning... you know, all of those nasty things.

Are there other options out there aside from hunting for makers' personal sites? Any help would be appreciated, as I've not had much luck finding an alternative

The Artisan's Cooperative is meant to be about that, but I'm not sure where they're at with that project atm.

I mean… Amazon handmade, but that’s not great

You can search on Etsy and then look at the person’s profile. Often they have their own websites
