I just found another place called Squabbles which seems like a mix of twitter and reddit, with posts and communities but threaded like twitter for its discussions. Is it part of the fediverse? or is it its own thing?
Hadn’t heard of this one, but it looks great! There’s definitely something to be said about the opportunity opening here for a continued evolution of how we want social media itself structured.
Lemmy is pretty reddit-esque and mastodon very twitter-like, squabbles looks to be trying a mix of the two, so I hope creative people continue to evolve how our conversations are structured going forward (in addition to the advantages the fediverse is already delivering on)
It's not part of the Fediverse, or rather it's a new closed source platform that plans to monetise using ads and subscriptions.
There isn't really a problem with that IMO, as long as it's sustainable and the users' voices are heard. It's not for me personally - I prefer the federated approach taken by Lemmy and Kbin
The developer is really active on it though from what I've read and has been implementing user suggestions at a rapid pace.
