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?

    Yea … this! It’s the big picture here. The multiple platforms that are FOSS, with each of their instances being completely separate … it’s a non-trivial amount of freedom you can’t get anywhere else, not to mention the potential for it (or its idea) to continue to grow and evolve.
