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've tried at least 4 alternatives before Kbin and Lemmy.

Squabbles felt like a ghost town, there was virtually nothing going for it.

Voat, when it was active, was a hotbed for alt-right, bigot-centered, racist-centered .etc content and discussion.

SaidIt is similarly in vein to Voat, but seems to try and replicate Reddit, even using horribly outdated code it feels like.

Quora was basically AskReddit 24/7.

I was genuinely surprised that Quora was brought up as a Reddit alternative since like you said it was basically AskReddit, NoStupidQuestions, etc 24/7
