January 6th defendants moderating political forums?

One of the platforms hoping to grow off of the Reddit migration is Squabbles.co.

Members used to laugh at how others called it a "toxically positive" place. Friendly conversations, hard to start a fight.

That recently changed with the developer JayCLees removing TOS rules protecting trans members from abuse & disinformation AND making a public announcement that Squabblr.co was now a "free speech site".

About a week before that the conflict with JayCLees and the users started when he refused to do anything about user amightybeard, the moderator of the discussion group "conservative".

A user did a web search on the username "amightybeard" and posted what he found:

Highlights include:

1. amightybeard possibly being a January 6th defendant

2. amightybeard being a member of several hard right wing discussion sites

3. amightybeard being a rabid antivaxer

4. amightybeard being a rabid homophobe

* I don't believe reading highway billboards is "doxing". It is publicly visible information. The author searched on a username and reported what he found to be publicly displayed

ATTENTION: Alarming information about /u/amightybeard!

Dear Squabbers, I have always felt uneasy around /u/amightybeard and his role as a moderator of /s/conservative. I will admit I am someone on the left so that does color my feelings towards him. However, I very strongly feel that America is in danger of slipping into chaos. In large part due to t...

I was never too much of a #Twitter user so switching to #Mastodon was relatively easy, and I'm loving it and the fediverse in general.

But switching from #reddit to #squabbles , #lemmy , or other alternatives has been difficult. I'm going cold turkey, and I just don't have the same curated frontpage or quality of life. #Jerboa for lemmy for example won't let me share an image without downloading it to my phone, and I can't scroll posts quickly by using my volume buttons.

@MaJ1 indeed! I actually don’t miss the other place at all in truth. Don’t use Reddit much or Twitter at all and now over on #Squabbles and #Lemmy as well as #Mastodon

Hey guys,

My Mastodon post, which started this thread is my review of the #RedditAlternative Squabbles.io.

I didn't write anything about KBin.

Why not start your own thread, fresh about KBin?

Thanks either way

Not sure if I should add my #kbin and #squabbles handles considering they're primarily for shitposting... but my branding...

Anyone out there looking for a Reddit alternative? I think I'm quite liking Squabbles.io.

After further playing around, #Tildes and #Squabbles are winning me over quickly. #rexit

@heurism yes, there's an app called Jerboa that does Lemmy. And, yes, there's nsfw material on some Lemmy instances and communities.

I believe there are another couple of apps in the pipeline.

I can also recommend squabbles.io it has a nice community of about 18k. Kbin is another place that is fedi linked to Lemmy.

Okay, so #lemmy is run by a tankie and #kbin is run by an ammophile. This knowledge suggests that communities that don't welcome me will form there.

We got any intel on #squabbles? #redditalternatives
