oh, I remember raddle - there was a big controversy because it turned out a single person was orchestrating complex drama and fights between different users that ended up just being a single person, which led to a betrayal of trust for some of the people who were helping host the servers, and there was a big question of whether that space could continue …

I sorta walked away from raddle for a bit after that. It also felt smaller than lemmy (at the time anyway, I think this was before Lemmy was a thing), so I guess they’re not really comparable.

It seems like a lot of people went to Mastodon and then didn’t stick around :-(
