Out of the open platforms, I use:
Reddit: Lemmy, Beehaw, Kbin
Twitter: Mastodon, Calckey
Facebook: idk nothing really plus I don’t even use Facebook that much anymore
I may occasionally use proprietary ones like Twitter, Tumblr and Threads.

“Third reply downvotes” and other types of bullying done for absolutely no reason. Also, people misleading others to disgusting communities just to troll them, for example (and I am paraphrasing the names of the communities): “misspell the community’s name to c/vercute instead of c/verycute and you accidentally get a sub full of gore” or “check out c/audioing, it’s definitely not people doing a very disgusting thing to one of their body parts”. I do, however, like the fact they’re bringing the whole subreddit swap meme - for example: on Reddit we have had r/trees and r/marijuana_enthusiasts and I’ve seen that implemented into Lemmy instances already. I wouldn’t get rid of that, I think there are some traditions that are neat and don’t harm anybody.
It feels different to use fediverse-based forum sites, but they’re growing rapidly, and you find new communities/magazines pretty much every day, and even though there’s some fracturing going on (need I remind you of Beehaw defederating from .world).
I like this a lot more than the social media-esque approach of modern Reddit. It has very much become like Twitter, with it’s endless feed of dopamine-inducing algorithms and whatnot. The blackout is a bit annoying, but I agree with the fact people should protest decisions if they ruin things for people.
I’m liking the experience so far.
They did make a poll and then later announced they’ll be banning underage anime art and IRL imagery . But not art of cute/short characters because it’s impossible to discern if they’re over 18 or not. It’s the whole Pokemon debate all over again.
So, it is recommended to either join one that fits your niche or maybe to self-host?
