I've been looking at this situation in practical terms. There are all sorts of ways to communicate online even when big tech does not want you to. The problem is that these solutions do not scale. Big Tech alternatives are also notoriously obscure and/or hard to use for the average person.
Additionally, running any service in the modern day involves dozens of third party companies. Even if you solve the technology problem there is nothing stopping the bank from closing your account. What about your accounting firm, choice of payroll software, or even the landlord? All of these links in the chain are easily intimidated into cutting you off. What happens if someone sues you? We've already seen legal firms refuse to represent Parler.
I really don't see a way out of this situation, to be honest.
