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.
kbin (at least kbin.social) has a nice little community, but we’re holding on by a thread over there since we’ve been overrun with spammers and nothing is really being done to combat it. A good chunk of people have jumped ship because of it, but we’re still trying to fight where we can.
I made an mbin alt, but I haven’t really hung out enough here to get a proper feel of it. Honestly it feels like looking through a window to the rest of the fediverse. If there’s any chill mbin (edit)
instancesmagazines, I’d love to know!Beehaw seems to have the most positive vibes, and I really like that. It seems small, but they’re pretty active. I mainly enjoy their gaming community.
I think I interact the most with Lemmy, but that’s probably because that’s where most active instances are. You’ll get a lot more different takes on there than anywhere else, some great, some not so great, but that comes with any site where you bring a bunch of people together.
Of course, these are from my experience and opinion. I’m interested to see others’ takes.
It’s because beehaw mandates its positivity. I once called out one of their posts as being fascist and they banned me for being rude about it.
I feel like any place that forces people to be positive in a world where there’s so much injustice is always going to passively side with evil.
You could say they force you, but I don’t really see it that way. Beehaw should be a forum you can go to and have decent, comfortable conversation without offensive and heated overtones. I became so utterly sick of that internet tone from reddit over the years, and it absolutely extends to every other part of the fediverse except for Beehaw, because it’s humanity that wants to be that way, not reddit specifically.
The only way to stop people from reacting with… that tone as you did is to moderate the shit out of it. You may not personally agree with it, but if you don’t there are tons of other instances that are all rampant with people running around accusing each other of being politically evil and being dicks besides. Beehaw is a breath of fresh air to me that way.
Would I trust their method to run a nation’s government? No, but a small internet forum where I might want to go to discuss things with people and retain a lower heart rate and faith in humanity? It’s much better than any alternative I’ve seen.
The mod history you posted definitely makes it look like they have a clear idea what kind of bikini/community they want and you don’t fit and neither of you were gonna change.
I’ve got negative interest in Beehaw. I’m not defending them or calling you a malcontent. They might be actual fascists for all i know. I’ve had 0 interactions with them.
Just saying that it’s clear who they want and it’s not you
I get you’re afraid of saying the quiet part out loud out of fear of backlash, thankfully i’m here to point that out so people don’t miss it.
Lemmy: Flawed but fun; doesn’t do enough about fascists on the platform but at least they’re really good about free speech.
Kbin: Boring. They don’t have downvotes and it’s just a stream of information with little context. Its users kind of suck.
Beehaw: Fascist, in a liberal way. They moderate like totalitarians and are so uber sensitive to any prospective outside their own.
Mastodon: Misses the mark. They tried to replace twitter and succeeded; not learning from any of its mistakes. As a result it’s all of the liberalism of twitter and none of the communists. Also little known fact is that Truth Social is a fork of mastodon, so good job on that one 👍
Thanks!
That Mastodon opinion is fascinating to me. Mastodon is the one i know he best by far, which is why i left it out.
Mastodon might function similarly, but as a user the community feels nothing like Twitter, for better and for worse, and its users and devs seem proud of that.
I also notice a strong communist/anarchist presence.
IMO Mastodon’s flaws are from trying to hard to not be Twitter the 2nd, not from being too similar to Twitter.
The disproportionate representation of hyper-reactive, hive-mind edgelords is vomitous, but overall entertaining and cool.

Skill issue; yankees shouldn’t expect to run their mouth, talking flagrantly-ignorant nonsense here without consequence. That’s what Reddit’s State Department-controlled ass is for. Amazing how y’all settlers scream about your freeze peach and being against echo chambers until it comes time to moderate anything that makes you uncomfy.
tl;dr if you don’t want people smoking your pack, don’t post ignorant yankee shit 🤷 "Unless you have investigated a problem, you will be deprived of the right to speak on it. Isn’t that too harsh? Not in the least."
