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?
I haven’t used any of them, and I doubt I will ever bother with centralised social media again. Some places I’ll keep a presence on, but I won’t ever meaningfully engage or invest with centralised stuff. The combination of lack of will to protect minorities and the ability to just lose everything at once, just isn’t something I want to deal with anymore.
