So obviously a lot of us are partial to kbin/Lemmy but have any of you explored the other alternatives like Raddle, Squabbles.io, and Tildes?

I made an account on Raddle because r/egg_irl and r/ennnnbyyy moved there and I also made one on Squabbles.io because some of the subreddits I joined had an analogous one on Squabbles.io. I haven’t use either enough to form a good opinion on them. Raddle seems to be predominantly political, and I’m trying to limit my exposure to politics and prevent doomscrolling.

What are your thoughts on these alternatives?

    When i was in squabbles, it was flooded by people making self posts that were obnoxious and super cringe, where they mainly talked about how they are the first people there and part of greatness. Or some girls who needed so much attention that they made 5 posts an hour, that was heavily upvoted, because girls. It was basically a worse version of facebook

      Every single week they have some stupid bullshit drama I just can’t get interested in. Last week I logged in and posted saying something about how every single time I check the site there’s drama, and one of the people who replied to me was exactly the kind of person you described trying to tell me that there’s not that much drama.

      I almost pulled a “this you” because less than an hour ago they’d posted that they were soooo depressed over the drama, but… not worth it. Also they posted five times that hour so you nailed the estimate exactly.

      I’d say it’s worse than Facebook at this point.
