Is that a fair summary?
Not to be a bully to some of these new projects, who people have I’m sure worked hard on, but a few lemmy instances are big enough that they could probably count as their own “Reddits” and have distinct enough “personalities” for this list …
lemmy.blahaj.zone
Yes that makes sense I’ve added NSFW. How would you describe the character of the others?
There is no real question here, removing per rule 1.
Is it because I said Tankie?
No you directly broke the first rule of this sublemmy
By asking a closed question?
Yep, it would’ve been open-ended if you asked others what they thought of the various instances and website.
Where’s the question in this post? I swear Lemmy users would just upvote everything they see lol
Are the characterisations of the different alternatives a fair summary?
Gotta say, I liked seeing this on Trust Cafe’s FAQs:
Is Trust Café a ‘Free Speech Platform’?
No. Emphatically not. Trust Café’s mission is to provide a non-toxic social media platform, which cannot happen in an environment where anything goes. We take a proactive stance against hate speech, harassment, and misinformation.My impression of squabbles after a while was more “feigned whimsy reddit”. The people who loved the quirky snu aspect of reddit found their way there. “Oh look, he’s wearing a box on his head with a face hole cut out! Ha ha!” - “He’s holding a plate with a piece of birthday cake in one hand and a saxophone in the other! What a whacky character!!!” - “He’s piloting a rocket ship! Space is amAAAAAzing!!!”
The dev seemed like he was impressively dedicated to improving the platform, but I didn’t jive with what I perceived at the time to be the emerging culture there. Nothing offensive about it, but that’s not at all what I’m looking for really. I haven’t been there any type of regularly for a couple weeks, so not sure if that’s still a thing.
Also, I don’t pay strict attention to what instances they’re coming from, but I’ve blocked many communities throughout the fediverse that spam memes like they’re running out of time or something. I don’t think squabbles exclusively lays claim to that type of behavior.
Just my opinion.
Man, I’ve seen this post like 4 times now

Has tildes said when they will change their restrictions? Would love to try it but as far as I know it’s invite only.
I just messaged you an invite. :)
I’ve tried it and honestly it’s just way too empty for me, and they like it that way. It feels like they’re isolationists and very slow moving. Not a bad place overall and great if you want a low energy environment that’s more fixated on community engagement than memes, but the engagement is days apart and and there’s not a ton of active users. The site layout is almost exactly the same as old Reddit and it feels familiar in that respect, but it’s not a good time waster if you check your phone a lot.
If by “Reddit” you mean internet discussion forums, I guess? It’s a super simplistic way to look at things.
Tildes, for example, is pretty clear that they are not and do not want to become another “Reddit”.
