Nothing agains this place, but it is VERY cumbersome to get going. Squabbles seems super responsive and intuitive. I’ll be using both!

    I just checked it out because of this post, and I’m not really sold. It just seems… off? to me. Like the whole comments right next to the post thing and what not just made it more of a distraction than anything. I mean, it could be my adhd preventing me from focusing, but I just could feel myself becoming overwhelmed within the 5-10 minutes I was looking through it. I feel that lemmy/kbin is definitely more Reddit-like, and personally, less overwhelming. Good concept, maybe not-so-good execution for some people.

      Yeah, I agree with it feeling “off” - can’t put my finger on exactly why. It feels like someone’s hobby project, as in one single person. The UI feels cluttered and not well thought out.

      As other people have pointed out too, it gives me a weird vibe that there’s no information about who created it, who controls it, how it’s moderated. And the domain was registered on GoDaddy like three months ago… just feels really off to me.
