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 spent much time with Tildes, but I noticed that they have least tried to address the problems with Reddit, rather than just be clone.

One example is putting the 'Add Comment' button at the very bottom of the screen, encouraging you to read existing comments before you make your own. Another is the use of labels, included 'noise' and 'malice', so that comments can be hidden from other users with a bit more nuance than a downvote, and 'exemplary' - which, if enough people use it - will promote a particularly insightful comment.

It does intrigue me, because I don't think the only issues with Reddit were ads and the actions of a pesky CEO.

Yes, I like tildes. Basically, it has less chance of misogynistic neckbeard.
