It was suggested I post here, but there's a TV Tropes fork at https://allthetropes.orain.org/wiki . It uses mediawiki software and gets rid of the censorship at TV Tropes. (I suspect this one will never get rid of the strikeout tag for dubious reasons.)

What do you mean by censorship here? Can you give examples?

They would not have pages about works that were primarily sexual, because the advertisers prohibited it.

Twice they did massive content culls because Google Ads has a "family-friendly" policy. This is my go-to example for why anyone advocating ads on Wikipedia hasn't thought the issue through sufficiently.

I recall them deleting/jettisoning the "troper tales" (specifically, troper tales:fetish fuel) section of the site some time ago because some of the content was extremely disturbing.

(youtube search for people doing dramatic readings of them, some of them are pretty funny if you have a high cringe tolerance)

The fork decided not to bring the troper tales back, for just that reason.
