Hey everyone. I created this social network out of a personal want. I use and enjoy both Twitter and Reddit, but each of them is lacking what the other has. Twitter is great for following notable people (and sometimes interacting with them!), but the UI doesn't facilitate conversation very well. Reddit is great for conversations, but not good for following people. There needed to be something in between the two, which I personally waited for someone else to create. To this day, no one has. So I decided to just create it myself. Introducing Squabbles! You can follow the people you find interesting, and you can have in-depth conversations as well. You can "tweet", and your followers can see your posts. You can join conversations with multiple people, in a format that facilitates it, and you can browse communities on subjects you love. I believe this can be a huge success, but I need your help! What do you need to do? Just use it! The biggest problem with social networks is the cold start problem. We need users to get more users! We've already gained 20k+ users, and gaining more everyday. Let's create something amazing together.

@jayclees "There needed to be something in between the two" To me, Squabbles is on its way to becoming my something between the *three*: Reddit, Twitter and Facebook. Thank you for building our new home!

@jayclees Dude I gotta ask! How did you get your first 20k users? Are you finding their early adopting power users that you can build a community around?

@marclafleur I think he managed to capture the right timing, when there was a large feeling of miscontent with Reddit, and a bunch of people were motivated to look for alternatives for the first time. Which is ironic given that Reddit exploded in popularity 12 years ago because of a similar situation with Digg. I guess the bottom line is that timing is key!

@jayclees Congratulations Squabbles!!! 👍This platform fills the gap between Twitter and Reddit in my opinion. With a user-friendly interface, the ability to follow interesting people, participate in conversations and browse communities. I wish Squabbles a thriving social network. 💎

Wow I loved the concept as I’m a Twitter fan, but since the owner changed and have weird politics on hiding info on war in Ukraine - I spend less time there. I will definitely try your social media! Will it also have words limit for posts?)

@orysia_khimiak "Will it also have words limit for posts?" If you mean the maximum length of posts, that's 10,000 characters.

Great traction so who am I to say…. But the name and icon makes “arguments” come to mind … last thing I’m looking for in a social platform is more arguing 🤷‍♂️ maybe it’s just me

@johnhaden True the name implies that. But I've been on Squabbles since it had about 100-200 users and I think I've seen 1 maybe 2 argumentative people (and it's just hit 23000 users). The community being created there is one of the most welcoming you'll come across at the moment.

@johnhaden The thing about a squabble is it's by definition "a petty quarrel". The connotation being that it's small stakes discourse. When I realized that, I think it's a clever move to help keep the emotional temperature down. So far the community has pretty resoundingly rejected rabble-rousers, and are being conscientious about making room for disparate opinions made in good faith, so long as they don't cross the line into hate speech.

@johnhaden The name is a tongue-in-cheek reference to arguing yes, but it's meant to be a light-hearted dig at it, rather than an encouragement of it.

@johnhaden Not every argument has to escalate into a fight.

Probably one of the best times to try and put a competitor to Reddit out there. Good luck! Only thing I might add is I think the site could use a lot more polish. Reddit never succeeded there. Would be nice to see that here

@josephstein The amount of changes the site has had in the last few weeks has been nothing short of incredible. New features and UI tweaks are added daily, and he actively listens to the userbase and takes their input on said changes.

@josephstein site could totally use some polish. Notifications are broken. Adjustments to the UI could be good (@jayclees has already made SO many, his dedication is great) and I think the site has a good base

@aakanksha_kabra My understanding from personally using Reddit is that Reddit has now become a place for information to be controlled by companies who were allowed to make millions of bots. They guide the conversation the way they choose and Squabbles helps us step away from that.

@aakanksha_kabra it really is user friendly. The important thing is that we are setting guidelines and growing community in a way that considers the whole site, and that kind of going above and beyond is the squabbles way

Review Squabblr?

Reviewers split sharply by timing: early users praised Squabblr’s clean Reddit-Twitter hybrid, friendly community, fast updates, responsive developer, and solid desktop/mobile usability, with some also noting an open API and third-party app activity. Repeated requests included better feed curation, search, blocking, moderation tools, and a smoother mobile view. But many later reviews say management and policy changes undermined that goodwill, citing “free speech” shifts, weaker protections for LGBTQ+ users, admin removals, poor community leadership, spammy promotion, and a resulting drop in content and active users.
