Here (kbin), Lemmy, Tildes… I hear Mastodon had a user spike. Is there something obvious I’m missing?
I ask because I haven’t felt the same mass of users that Reddit had. Obviously users have spread out, servers have been hammered, UIs have a learning curve and so on… But there might be other alternatives I haven’t looked at that are worth that look.
I second your list and I’d add my personal preference: the public square shouldn’t be ginormous.
Reddit feels like trying to have a conversation at the she time with all the people that could fit in St. Peter’s Square.
After these few days on Kbin I realised I’d rather be in a small town’s square where maybe I recognise some people and my voice isn’t drowned.
A st Peter’s square of everyone trying to be the funniest person in the room. It was impossible trying to have any level of conversation because everyone just jumped in with a dumb joke constantly
