I modified a image I saw going around last year on Global Switch Day

Perhaps we could use it to make people aware of Reddit alternatives etc. If you can imporve upon the image please do so, and feel free to use it.
I just threw it together in KolourPaint in a few min.
Has anyone tried Pleroma or Misskey who can share their experience/opinion?
Just trying to get an idea of what’s out there.
Well, pleroma is kind of like a blend between 2010 imageboards and mastodon, it’s kinda small and nice depending on which instance you are. Its used by a lot of personal website thanks to its low weight, and is popular among small independant web creators. You’ll rarely see instance with more than 100 users. Biggest one i’ve found is https://udongein.xyz/ .
Misskey is more or less the same thing, but mainly focused on a japanese audience from what i’ve seen, with a flashy DUI and a large focus on user customisation with profile picture stickers, statuses, colored fonts, badges, and custom emojis. Biggest misskey instance i’ve found is misskey.io .
Both are fun, but they are more focused on communities/sharing than politics/news/real world (except misskey on some cases for… japanese reasons). Their smallness also tend to favor circlejerking behavior, but i guess that’s an inner principle of the world wide web. They are worth the try.
That’s interesting, thanks!
That’s okay, because those niches seem already filled on the fediverse anyway. I was mostly curious because it seems most of the social media formats have alternatives on the fediverse, except for the classic facebook/myspace where it was originally mostly about keeping up with friends and people you know in real life, joining interest groups, buying/selling used items on marketplace, etc.
