What are your opinions on the other Reddit alternatives like Squabbles.io, Raddle, Tildes, etc? (beehaw.org)

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.

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.
