Nothing agains this place, but it is VERY cumbersome to get going. Squabbles seems super responsive and intuitive. I’ll be using both!
I liked it briefly when I logged in but as someone on reddit pointed out, the owner encouraged others to astroturf bringing new users to the site which feels kinda icky given the way other users have also bashed lemmy alongside it.
I’m done with closed platforms under the control of corporations. I’m done with erratic CEOs controlling my social media experience. If it’s not federated, I’m not interested.
I think it’s somewhat interesting. I don’t like how the main developer was spamming Reddit with links to it all week then pretending like he didn’t on Squabbles.
Also, the vibe of a social network named after petty and trivial quarrels seems to be not for me.
