- SkyPuncher 3y agoI'm really enjoying tildes. The community/culture is correct. Just needs more content (which will come with time). I as well would love an invite.
- scrollaway 3y agoYou and GP can send me an email for an invite (see profile).
- SkyPuncher 3y agoThank you so much! I sent you an email. As an aside, do you get a bunch of spam from having your email semi-public?
- scrollaway 3y agoMy email has been public for ~10 years and running on Google Workspace for just as long. I get roughly 2 spam emails / day. Maybe 1-2 false negatives and false positives per month (both these rates have been getting worse with gmail).
- SkyPuncher 3y agoOh wow. I get the same amount of spam with a completely private email.
- frizkie 3y agoYeah. Seems like it could really benefit from a larger user base, but obviously they understand that and are taking it slowly. I'm also open to an invite if anyone is feeling charitable.
- raisedbyninjas 3y agoI liked the discussion there. Some people claimed they were subject to capricious bans though.
- scrollaway 3y agoI call BS on the "capricious bans". Tildes bans rarely (only one person has ban power on the site), and when it does, there's some discussion around it. See for example: https://tildes.net/~tildes/15my/new_users_ask_your_questions_about_tildes_here#comment-86ls https://tildes.net/~tildes/15my/new_users_ask_your_questions... Occam's Razor: If someone got banned, it's more likely that they were being an asshole than that the admin of a site that's been running peacefully and smoothly for 4-5 years is suddenly on a power trip.

- dabluecaboose 3y agoTildes is great but it's a lot more analagous to HN than reddit. The moderators are limited in number and absolute in power, you can't make new subs (I asked for a few and was declined), and the community is more tight and discussion-oriented (which is a good thing IMO, but I never quite felt like I fit in so I don't comment often).
- SantalBlush 3y agoIt has some nice things going for it, but it has a few issues that can be off-putting. 1. People are discouraged from being too negative about posts, but posting negative articles is fine. This led to people occasionally linking articles containing invectives about some subject they didn't like, but you're not supposed to respond to the article with invectives. It produced a natural asymmetry in the conversation and felt really passive aggressive. 2. The long post format is a noble goal, but personally I couldn't see the incentive in putting in a ton of work to craft a thoughtful, researched, and thorough post only to have it read by maybe 20 people then buried after a day. If I'm going to put that much work into a piece of writing, I'll create a blog where it will at least have some more permamence. I think in the end the long post format attracts people who enjoy the process of writing itself--which is fine--but it simply doesn't equate to higher content. A lot of the opinions in those long posts are still underbaked, and the length doesn't improve them. Tildes threads can be a grind to read while producing little information.
- scrubby 3y agoI just glanced at it, but Tildes feels like reddit did 14 years ago.
- lelanthran 3y agoIf anyone here wants to send me an invite, my email is my first name at gmail.com. My first name is 'lelanthran'.
- cryoz 3y agoTildes is amazing!
- slashtab 3y agoI can...but where?
- shusaku 3y agoThe discussion there looks very good

- mamoul 3y agoThanks!
- dr_monster 3y agoThey are all used now, unfortunately.
- pndy 3y agoThose who got invites should be able to invite more folks > "Most of the existing users have the ability to invite others, so if you know someone that has an account, you can ask them for an invite." https://tildes.net/login https://tildes.net/login
- Aachen 3y agoTakes somewhere between 48 hours and a week to generate the first invite codes, though. (Those are the two closest moments at which I checked before and after I had invites available)
- pndy 3y agoDo you know if a single account can invite people all the time or there's some limited number of generated invite codes?
- Aachen 3y agoInvite, slightly obfuscated: uggcf://gvyqrf.arg/ertvfgre?pbqr=LD8C3-NL8XQ-Q28BV
