https://tildes.net https://tildes.net doesn't seem to be federated. Is it?
- codetrotter 8y agoI don’t think so, no. They probably would have said so if it was. I wonder if they are open to patches that would make it federated.
- Deimorz 8y agoI've got a note about this in the FAQ (https://docs.tildes.net/faq#why-isnt-tildes-decentralizeddistributedfederated https://docs.tildes.net/faq#why-isnt-tildes-decentralizeddis...): > Why isn't Tildes decentralized/distributed/federated? > Decentralized communities are interesting and have a lot of potential, but that model also introduces its own problems and difficulties. Tildes is already attempting to do quite a few things differently to improve the quality of online communities, and I'm more interested in focusing on those goals without introducing the additional complexity of decentralization. > However, since Tildes is open-source, someone else could certainly use it as a base for their own decentralized version. I'm not interested in running a decentralized version myself, but I'd love to see someone else try to make it work.
- codetrotter 8y agoThanks for responding about that here, did not expect that :)
- Quanttek 8y agoHow do you get an account there?

- Deimorz 8y agoJust send me an email - the address and more info about the site are in the announcement post (offer's open to anyone else that's interested too): https://blog.tildes.net/announcing-tildes https://blog.tildes.net/announcing-tildes I send out invites daily. It's not intended to be difficult to get an account, I just want to prevent it from getting out of control when it gets a huge burst of attention due to situations like a subreddit getting banned.
- Quanttek 8y agoThank you! I reached out
