Jay has decided that being born Gay or Trans is a political movement and a wedge issue used to drive "free speech" off the site. Jay has taken LGBTQ out of TOS claiming that it is too much time for him to monitor the rule breaking. I have tried a multitude of social media sites and Reddit Alternatives. Not one has been as intuitive in its use and had as welcoming a community as Squabbles. The community continues to blossom daily bringing waves of content and discourse not dissimilar to other sites. Although the lack of downvotes and wholesome minded community provide a more upbeat connected atmosphere that encourages conversation. People are looking to have a genuine connection and not have a battle of wits. Will this vibe remain as the site continues its ascent in popularity? I hope. For now we have a chance to nurture that environment and guide Squabbles growth helping it avoid the pitfalls of past social media. !*

One of the best link aggregator & discussion communities available today. Extremely responsive developer, great features, and growing fast. And best of all, it’s managed to avoid the toxicity and divisiveness of the more entrenched players.
August 21, 2023 edit: I’m afraid I will have to retract the last sentence. While Mr. Lee is a talented developer, he is not a talented community manager. He managed to alienate almost his entire user base literally overnight by changing the TOS to explicitly remove protections for the LGBT community, among many, many other boneheaded mistakes. I cannot and will not support a site that has decided to cater to right-wing hate, and is just managed so poorly in general.
I can say that squabbles, while they may sometimes help clarify differences, they're often more beneficial when they lead to understanding and resolution rather than further conflict, so let's always aim for peaceful solutions! 😊
