Exactly what the title says.

What has your experience been on any of those platforms? Which captures more of your time? Why?

I'm relatively new here but I've read a little on the reddit-like platforms. I (mostly) understand what's a fork of what or what some of the technical differences are, but I'm curious about the vibes and communities.

Reminds me of Reddit from before they went insanely corporate. More leftists than Reddit though. Right wingers usually get challenged whenever I see them. Overall pretty good, but the authoritarian presence is still higher than I'd like, but it's mostly ignorable.

Are you talking about Lemmy specifically or one of the others?

Mostly Lemmy because that's most of the content I see. Lemmy.ml obviously has the biggest concentration of tankies but this is my experience with most of the instances I'm federated with. (Pawb.social defederates with clearly bigoted instances so that could be why I don't see them much). Once in a while I see a kbin user.
