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 I'm a software developer. How can I access your API, if any?

@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. 💎

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.

@logan_allan cool I’ll give it a whirl

@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.

Congratulations on the launch of your social network! It sounds like fantastic platform that combines the best features of Twitter and Reddit. The ability to both follow people you love and engage in meaningful conversations is definitely a winning combination. I'm curious, how did you come up with idea for this unique concept?
Al Llamas
@carmil_bermillo Agreed! The way they combined the two platforms is genius!

@carmil_bermillo This was something I personally wanted for a long time since I use both platforms. Twitter was good for following people but the UI was not the greatest at supporting conversations. So I wanted a Twitter with a more Reddit like commenting interface, and I also wanted something akin to Reddit's subs as well. So I just kind of combined the two!

@jayclees that’s my dev 🙌
Caleb Hansen
@carmil_bermillo It feels like the best of reddit and twitter, for sure. Being built on a strong foundation helps!
Carmil
@jayclees Thank you very much for your answer! I like the idea and I've already signed up too! Quick question, if you don't mind. How would you go about password resets in case users lose their passwords and they don't have emails registered as it's an optional feature? (Which I definitely LOVE, by the way!)
