What is your opinion about it, and does it have more or less people compared to Lemmy?
tl;dr: The owner is alt-right and drove away pretty much everyone from the site, which is now a ghost town.
It gained about 30k users relatively quickly. The owner then went full alt-right and declared it a “free speech platform” which caused it to lose about 99% of its users (most of which moved to Discuit). After that, it was basically just 10 or so users posting some pretty racist content.
Recently, the owner put the site behind a waitlist to hide the fact that it basically has no active users…
I was there for a while after leaving reddit. It was one of the hardest self-destructs I’ve ever seen. That dev actually had something good and growing at the time.
Could have definitely been a case study of how to completely destroy any momentum and good will.
i think this explains why I couldnt register at the time…
Daily reminder that any platform that isn’t explicitly and openly anti-racist is a nazi bar.
Once I saw that it wasn’t open. Felt like going from one site that is controlled by a single person to another closed one controlled by a single person again.
First I’ve heard of it, but my first thought is that I don’t want to socialize on a website named after petty arguments.
During the original reddit exodus, I tried it out.
It sucked. The interface was clunky, features bare bones at best, and it was prone to heavy lag.
And then it got worse, and nobody with half a brain stayed.
Seriously, it was good to have it there at the time, but it’s dead now in any realistic sense
was that the one that was just reskinned Mastodon while lying about being Mastodon?
i dont know , maybe… ijust learned they actually renamed to Squabblr months ago…
