Personal opinion, I have negative interest in a platform whose name implies that I'm going there to get into a stupid internet fight with someone.

Don't get me wrong, I'm willing to have internet fights on occasion, but in my daily online I don't log on and say "Yes I'd like to have an argument please", which the word "squabble" implies to me.

On one hand I agree. On the other hand that’s precisely what we do on social media all day. So it’s a very honest branding. But few like hearing the truth.

Hey everyone,

I've created a social media platform that lets your "tweet," but also have in-depth conversations with Reddit (and Hacker News) style commenting system. This allows you to tweet short blurbs of whatever you're thinking, or create long posts and have better and more in-depth conversations.

We launched a few weeks ago following Reddit's API apocalypse and I'm currently working on outreach.

The website is built with Laravel, Vue.js, MySQL. It runs on the DigitalOcean cloud.

Would love to answer any questions you might have!

You'd might want to do a Show HN of this. Haven't checked it out yet, but it seems cool so far. I was doing something like this, but it's Discord + Reddit.

Hey, thanks for the info! How do I do a Show HN?

Just make a sumbission that starts with "Show HN: " (no quotes).
