Edit: I'm leaving my initial review below, so you can see how much I used to love this site. I decided to leave the site after Jake refused to condemn hate speech of all kinds and it's just going to become a virtiolic cesspool.
I have thoroughly enjoyed my time using Squabbles as my reddit replacement. The community there is wholesome, inclusive and works hard to make it a great place to spend my time. The developers of the website and the mobile apps have been extremely responsive and change things quickly based on feedback. I couldn't recommend using Squabbles enough!
One of the best link aggregator & discussion communities available today. Extremely responsive developer, great features, and growing fast. And best of all, it’s managed to avoid the toxicity and divisiveness of the more entrenched players.
August 21, 2023 edit: I’m afraid I will have to retract the last sentence. While Mr. Lee is a talented developer, he is not a talented community manager. He managed to alienate almost his entire user base literally overnight by changing the TOS to explicitly remove protections for the LGBT community, among many, many other boneheaded mistakes. I cannot and will not support a site that has decided to cater to right-wing hate, and is just managed so poorly in general.
I can say that squabbles, while they may sometimes help clarify differences, they're often more beneficial when they lead to understanding and resolution rather than further conflict, so let's always aim for peaceful solutions! 😊
