This is amazing platform. Thank you for launching

Started out as a terrific product. Jake Lee has proven to be an adept developer. Unfortunately, the site little social direction and is poorly managed from public relations standpoint. Excellent developers don't automatically make for wise community leaders. A collapse of the Squabblr userbase means that the creative content that fueled the project has largely dried up and gone to other sites. This can only be rectified by a complete change in administrative leadership, but the lightening that was initially caught in the bottle is unlikely to be caught twice.

Originally, I was all-in on Squabblr (then Squabbles.io) as my new preferred social networking site. I stayed steady through several community/lead developer disagreements. Unfortunately, recently the lead developer sacked his entire admin team and changed the TOS to favor the site as what he calls "free speech". Unfortunately, this removed penalties for hate speech beyond racism and direct slurs.

Developer has consistently removed admins because they have given advice against decisions affecting the userbase. Developer has shown no interest in maintaining protections based on gender/sexuality, and has given direction to tolerate anti-LGBTQI+ content provided it doesn't include 'slurs' or 'targeted harassment'. Developer's decision has alienated a large part of the active userbase. Developer is removing users and posts about people talking about moving to other platforms, despite this not being against Terms of Service. The consequence of this is that the content rate has dropped to glacial speeds, around a dozen 3PP app developers have pulled the plug on their projects, and most of the active userbase has moved elsewhere, mainly Discuit. All-in-all, this was a promising site that has been torpedoed by the developer's hubris and mismanagement. Given the bad will, I can't see it ever improving.

Enjoyed the site when I joined (Was like 4300ish user). Constant updates, constant attention to peoples issues with the site from a usability perspective, everything seemed great here. Unfortunately the dev is also a "free speech" absolutist and removed most stuff pertaining to hate speech. Various updates to the ToS about all the content they can use and own of yours including editing at will etc. Removing all admins who doesn't share their ideas. My last day on the platform, was a good concept ruined by dev's ideology, so if you want Elon Lite, this is for you.

The admin has recently announced that it will now be a "free speech" platform. The new TOS allows homophobia, transphobia, and other sorts of bigotry. I have been a user on it for a while, and most big creators have now left. This platform will certainly devolve into a right-wing cesspool. Don't use squabblr

Great new community site. Looking forward to seeing its growth. Would like more feature for curating my feed like lists and also suggestions for similar communities to ones I'm already subscribed to.

So far this young site has managed to foster an incredible community that is working hard to cut away many of the negative aspects of Reddit and Twitter while keeping the positive ones.

I like the twitter like interface and the ability to follow people as well as communities

It's a decent app with a decent development flow. I just wish the owner and others would stop spamming their own website and begging for people to vote for their product. This shit is annoying AF. The discord and the website is essentially vote-begging 24/7. Now they pinned announcements about voting and even shoved a banner on the top of the website. This 100% violates the "Do not spam" community guideline. https://help.producthunt.com/en/...
