Thingyverse is owned by Ultimaker, Printables by Prusa and makerworld belongs to bamboo. I don’t really want to donate my models to a for profit company, so are there any similar community run alternatives where I can upload to? Cheers

      Oh neat, that’s cool but one benefit I have found from thingiverse’s age and the fact that people would have to actively go delete their models is I have found mods for old 3d printer hardware I’m trying to keep alive that their creators have left the hobby (did it in highschool never owned a printer is what I guessed) that are still useful. If they had self hosted their models they would be gone, and I don’t know a good way to search all various self hosted stuff for models
