- EamonnMR 3y agoWhoa tildes are a reddit alternative? I thought it was all about, like, public access unix systems.
- DiggyJohnson 3y agoIs there a known feasible way of receiving an invite at the present time?
- teaearlgraycold 3y agoHuh? It’s not quite an alternative. It’s good though and I’d recommend joining once there’s another invite wave.
- progval 3y agotildes.net seems completely unrelated to the ones you are thinking of (the tildeverse)
- EamonnMR 3y agoAh, thanks.
- dom96 3y agoAnyone have an invite to share for Tildes?
- buildbot 3y agoWould love one too…
- teaearlgraycold 3y agoCan I get your email address?
- buildbot 3y agotilde at maxg.io :)
- intelVISA 3y agoWould love one as well.
- teaearlgraycold 3y agoSent!
- dom96 3y agoAny chance I could get one too? Email's on my website: https://picheta.me https://picheta.me
- ecliptik 3y agoSame here. Looking at the list of topics, it hits a lot of my interests and isn't 100% focused on tech. My contact details are on my website in my profile.

- teaearlgraycold 3y agoLooks like the email address on your keybase page is unreachable?
- jrockway 3y agoThat was my guess, not knowing anything about Reddit's architecture. The "this subreddit is private" message probably used to be really rare, so it probably does the auth check for every request. Now every Google result links to "this subreddit is private", and so traffic to that endpoint went up by orders of magnitude. The result is an outage. If I were an SRE at Reddit, the day I got wind of the "we're making all subreddits private" thing, I'd double check that code-path to see what we were in for on Day 0. However, I am not.
- dylan604 3y agoOr maybe, the SREs at Reddit decided this is their contribution to the protest to let it burn
- jrockway 3y agoIn this economy?
- fragmede 3y agoAt their paygrade? Looking at Meta/Google/Apple's layoff packages of 6 months of severance, and factoring in $170k-$389k annual income at Reddit (per levels.fyi), I would hope they have enough savings to live off of for months if not years, to enable thtem to protest, should they so desire.
- datavirtue 3y agoHumans spend the money they have available. All of it.
- rat9988 3y agoat this income level, it's not worth losing my job in this economy, not even in a booming economy.
- DaiPlusPlus 3y ago6 months severance is exceptional - 3 months is what you get if you’ve been there at least a few years and in good-standing. And the twentysomething kids on $200k on the west coast won’t be saving that money (if the number of Teslas on the road in Redmond is anything to go by): they have no reason to believe they won’t make the same kind of TC at the next job they apply for.
