Exactly what the title says.

What has your experience been on any of those platforms? Which captures more of your time? Why?

I'm relatively new here but I've read a little on the reddit-like platforms. I (mostly) understand what's a fork of what or what some of the technical differences are, but I'm curious about the vibes and communities.

Thanks!

That Mastodon opinion is fascinating to me. Mastodon is the one i know he best by far, which is why i left it out.

Mastodon might function similarly, but as a user the community feels nothing like Twitter, for better and for worse, and its users and devs seem proud of that.

I also notice a strong communist/anarchist presence.

IMO Mastodon's flaws are from trying to hard to not be Twitter the 2nd, not from being too similar to Twitter.
