So what corners have redditors gathered to during the blackout? (kbin.social)

Here (kbin), Lemmy, Tildes... I hear Mastodon had a user spike. Is there something obvious I'm missing?

I ask because I haven't felt the same mass of users that Reddit had. Obviously users have spread out, servers have been hammered, UIs have a learning curve and so on... But there might be other alternatives I haven't looked at that are worth that look.

I tested the waters at several sites:

Mastodon felt too much like Twitter my taste, too many angry people and too much politics; the UI is slick, though
Squabbles UI felt weird
Lemmy had some problematic stuff around the person who runs it, and it felt more confusing on which instance to pick
kbin has been my favorite; familiar UI, and people seem mostly friendly and chill

Lemmy had some problematic stuff around the person who runs it

What problematic stuff, exactly? I remember reading about some tankie stuff, but with the amount of information I had to digest the last couple of days, I'm not sure if that was about Lemmy or some other site.
