Nothing agains this place, but it is VERY cumbersome to get going. Squabbles seems super responsive and intuitive. I’ll be using both!
Is it federated?
If not, it’s not useful.
This!
I think it’s somewhat interesting. I don’t like how the main developer was spamming Reddit with links to it all week then pretending like he didn’t on Squabbles.
Also, the vibe of a social network named after petty and trivial quarrels seems to be not for me.

Yeah that logo is a little questionable
I use it sometimes. Apart from the non-federated aspect, there is a cultish mentality in some users there, which I find very annoying.
I’m done with closed platforms under the control of corporations. I’m done with erratic CEOs controlling my social media experience. If it’s not federated, I’m not interested.
Seems pointless to switch to a different closed-source, centralized platform. Why would this be any different from Digg or Reddit? Switching to a federated system is the only way to make sure that cycle doesn’t repeat.
yeah, I read the introduction that someone elses written for emigration, it naturally guides to toward using lemmy(or whatever more suitable fediverse alternatives). You do not want to repeat the same mistake of putting all that efforts into a community that you basically surrenders all data to who owns that domain/company.
For fediverse I can like just start my own instance or migrate and create a new account with ease, if an instance owner decides to close or transfer ownership of the server. The information is still available somewhere else. (I think later down the road it might be possible to migrate community content you created with scripts just like how you can nuke all you post history with reddit.)
