What are your opinions on the other Reddit alternatives like Squabbles.io, Raddle, Tildes, etc? (self.asklemmy)

So obviously a lot of us are partial to kbin/Lemmy but have any of you explored the other alternatives like Raddle, Squabbles.io, and Tildes?

I made an account on Raddle because r/egg_irl and r/ennnnbyyy moved there and I also made one on Squabbles.io because some of the subreddits I joined had an analogous one on Squabbles.io. I haven't use either enough to form a good opinion on them. Raddle seems to be predominantly political, and I'm trying to limit my exposure to politics and prevent doomscrolling.

What are your thoughts on these alternatives?

There were a few small ones along the way, but the biggest issue is they failed to squash some alt-right posts/communities under the guise of "free speech". Translation: the dev is a capitalist above all else. There was a big blow back last week and they seemed to have back pedaled a little bit. However, the initial response doesn't give me very much faith. I expect it to go the way of facebook, and I have a hunch the devs don't mind that.
