After trying #Squabbles, I think I’m done with non-federated #SoMe.

All the sudden, unilateral, knee-jerk decisions were exhausting. Also, as soon as the conservative sub was created, critical posts started to be deleted. I was one of the dorks who thought this new platform allowed for open debate, but I should know better. People who’ve put a man like #Trump as president aren’t open to discussion or criticism.

J'ai du mal à y voir clair du côté du Fediverse Reddit-like (Lemmy, Squabbles, Kbin...) est-ce qu'ils sont tous compatibles entre eux (voir le contenu d'une instance lemmy depuis une instance kbin, etc) ?
Et est que y'a une instance française un peu cool comme Mamot ou Piaille pour Mastodon ?

Within the same day I see Reddit and Twitter disappear from my life thanks to thirsty corporations asking for millions of dollars to developers, and to Musk’s last mental flatulence blocking the site for those without account.

Well, time to truly take my introvert-lurker energy to #Mastodon and #Squabbles.

With this I mean posting for a week and then hiding under my duvet for a month, ✨obviously✨

#thestruggle

Yesterday I deleted my #Reddit account after years of healthy lurking. The lack of filter for misinformation, the insane toxicity, the brigading, and the bots, pushed me to stop participating, and now, on a corporatist twist (shock), they killed third party apps, demanding millions to the developers – so I’m off to greener pastures aka #Squabbles!
That Reddit results may still pop up on my StartPage searches? Yep. But now I’ll check them out with no account and using #Teddit.
Byyye!

Anyone out there looking for a Reddit alternative? I think I'm quite liking Squabbles.io.

#reddit #RedditAlternative #squabbles

Though it's not federated, I'm enjoying Squabbles.io a lot. The UI is great, in any device, the community seems kind, the Dev works like a machine to improve everything and though it has no app yet, it's perfectly usable as a WebApp.

It's easier to use than Kbin and Lemmy, but I feel wary of centralized media.

I'll keep trying them all, as it feels like a new Age of Exploration, for the Internet.

I keep seeing #lemmy and #kbin promoted as #reddit alternatives these days, but hardly any mention of #squabbles. Pardon my ignorance as someone completely new to the #fediverse, but I feel like this is a mistake.

Do people actually like being downvoted for their opinions or something? Do people actually like the ability to downvote others?

Squabbles doesn’t have that stupid karma system, and that alone puts it ahead of lemmy and kbin in my book.

(Don’t know about you, but I’m tired of the downvote system being used as a “I don’t like your opinion, so I’m going to be passive-aggressive and press this button in an attempt to censor you” function. Hivemind, Internet bullying is what it is. That’s one of the reasons why I came to Mastodon first.)

Also, Squabbles feels very fresh as well as wholesome and chill. I might just join in one of these times.

So I’ve been off #reddit for ten days today and I thought I’d start feeling urges to go back now or have some kind of withdrawal. But this hasn’t been the case. Instead, I’ve felt more relaxed and chill, with no desire to return. Getting a feel for Mastadon as my new home has been a lot of fun. I’ve also started expanding my curiosity a tad and look forward to seeing what else the #fediverse has to offer. #squabbles has caught my interest. #redditmigration

First beta of a #squabbles iOS client is out: Pulse https://squabbles.io/u/Nicell/post/QAxWXeLwVb

As a #reddit alternative, I feel #squabbles should be mentioned more for the #redditmigration. It looks more wholesome and doesn’t seem to have that stupid karma system that can be abused for censorship and bullying. I was tempted to join up and reply to some person to NOT recommend the machete order to those who haven’t seen #StarWars before. Heh.

I've been on #Lemmy, #Kbin, and #Squabbles for a day now and my early impressions for these #RedditAlternatives are:

- Lemmy is the most stable and robust.
- Kbin is the best at showing you what you want to see.
- Squabbles has the most content.

If Kbin had an app that would probably put it in first place for me. For now, it's tied with Lemmy. I like the amount of easily accessible discussion on Squabbles, but it's impossible to filter through the noise.

Happy #RedditMigration y'all!

Been trying out #Squabbles as a #RedditAlternative, and it's got the right feel, but I don't know if it'll hang around long term. It's just a single dev who's trying to keep up with a huge influx, and there's already alt-right folks showing up and setting up communities. Not a good sign. Hopefully the dev can get some help and stay on top of the coming chaos.

#Stand back, bewildering #Politics!
I've placed my #Fences round;
Pass on, with all your #Party tricks,
Nor tread my holy #Ground!

Stand back - I'm #Weary of your #Talk,
Your #Squabbles, and your bate:
You cannot enter in this #Walk ;
I've closed my #Garden #Gate.
