You can adjust the thumbnails of your pictures with focal points. You can use custom emojis, hide things behind spoiler warnings and choose who sees a given post. Messed it up?

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Nothing and nothing! At the beginning it seemed interesting to me, perhaps a place where I could write freely without any problems, at the beginning I trusted the social network, a new platform where I could insert my works, but not only were my works not seen by anyone, but In my opinion the site didn't even try to help me for a moment with the algorithm!
  • Easy to use, with practice. Easy to find other interested in the same things, (by use of hashtags etc). Easy to upload links, and images. Easy to follow others that on is interested in. Easy to complain, block - e.g adult messages.
  • Decent. Open. It is what you make of it. Decent people. The conversations are very interesting and there's a wide range of topics to follow.
  • No cockamamie algorithms, quality content and discussion. Very few trolls, and easy to get them banned. Decent web interface. Mobile app Megalodon is great.
  • Nothing.

Cons

  • Not only do you have an embarrassing character limit, but as soon as they see that you make a few more posts a day you are branded as a spammer and without thinking twice they block you and close your page as if you were a thief or a murderer!
  • Mastodon has cancelled my account. This time they cancelled me for "Inciting to Violence". This was simply not true.
  • Bit preachy. Ignore that. The UI is a bit heavy but very functional.
  • Somewhat hard to duplicate original twitter follows, but in the end that doesn't matter.
  • Its a clubhouse for the woke community, disgusting people.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • You can connect with Reddit groups and members from all over the world with the same likes. It is generally a younger crowd who is often not respectful to all and a single attack will lead to a pile on for the fun of it.
  • -If you can think of it, there is a subreddit for it. There is a place with more information on every topic on Reddit. -Karma system rewards users who post good/useful comments and punishes those that have bad intentions.
  • Social media platform based around communities. Free to use. Lots of communities (called sub-reddits) for each niche. Great place to get unfiltered news. Upvote system to help promote quality content. Award system to recognize quality content.
  • Reddit is the best place for funny memes, great videos, current world drama updates and anything else. Literally the best place to be if you want to keep up with the times.
  • - Reddit is a great platform t connect with people through communities based on a common liking subject. - It allows the user to stay completely anonymous during browsing the platform. - It is available on both desktop and mobile. - The feed highlights the trending discussions and topics around the world.

Cons

  • It’s is privately moderated so people with power issues and political agendas will control the direction of attacks and censorship. You can report users but if you report bots or a troll you get suspended for over reporting. Incentives the toxic anonymous hate trolling. They promote hate speech on others while censoring the reporting of of the individuals or topics they feel allowed. You are allowed to cus at someone but not refer to genders. Allowed to shame someone for lack of English accuracy but not have different political views.
  • -Reddit does its best to avoid spam account and bots, but there are still many out there. -It would be great to have more freedom regarding posting gifs, emoticons etc.
  • Android app has lot of issues with every other update - crashes, video not buffering, posts on loading. Moderator personal bias has a lot of influence over content.
  • It's a chat board? No cons except your opinion is always wrong!
  • - The searching UI can be improved by showing more similar suggestions during the searches. - The mobile version of the application feels unstable occasionally.
