What’s the next thing?

I've heard there's a terrific service out there that's a real sleeper. USENET, I think it's called.

I've been using hackernews as a great alternative to reddit. When they shut off compact reddit I completely moved to HN.

  But HN doesn't have communities. We need something that gives you lightweight bulletin boards (because that's what reddit replaced). I love HN, but it's really just a subreddit with its own website.

Tildes.net is similar but not a replacement

  Do you have any invites?

I think Tildes is a good secondary alternative to Reddit, It was developed by a Reddit intern and RiD developer.

  Are you open to sharing an invite?
  - chrisin2d 3y ago
    Sure. ~current Tilderino
    - dcow 3y ago
      Maybe I'm not cool enough, but how does this translate into an invite? I'm on tildes.net right now.

        Had to read the source code. Go to /register I assume someone already snapped it; since no permutations of the above work
        dcow 3y ago
        Anyone else willing to share a few?

    There's a pinned thread in /r/tildes where you can ask for an invite, and they'll give you one after a cursory look at your reddit profile.

For me, both Twitter & Reddit require a not-inconsiderable effort to extract value while ignoring/digesting the annoyances. Maybe fewer global social platforms and less time spent on them will do a lot of people more good. I'm guessing Reddit gets less global and ubiquitous, in the same way Twitter is more of a slice of a niche crowd now too. Maybe that's okay.

Seems like things are currently migrating towards smaller, more closed communities. Things like Discord servers, any of the various services that popped up when Twitter went bad, invite-only chats on any of the various chat services, even web forums are still hanging around. Honestly can't say I'm sad about this transition, I tend to think smaller communities are healthier.
