I’m sure absolutely nobody will confuse this with Tildes.
Too late, I already did.
Same. Assumed tildes from just the title.
Seems like they haven’t gained traction since the reddit exodus. I wonder how the other alternatives are doing. Lemmy has a decent amount of activity at least, although I still wish more people would use it.
This is literally the first time I’ve heard it being mentioned since the exodus
Unfortunately, it was originally seeded with people from the meta mod community in Reddit and so they brought all that with them.
Some discussions are awesome, but anything remotely controversial is a pure echo chamber and you’ll get shouted down if you dissent.
Well, TIL

Reminds me of sdf.org.
I’m loving the lore of the “tildeverse”, check out https://cosmic.voyage/ starting with the log entries. Feels like Futurama meets Unix Surrealism.
Gopher. Now that’s a long time since I heard that name.
Here’s my old homepage hosted on a tilde on the Gemini protocol

Here’s my new homepage hosted on a different tilde I just got up and running yesterday since the old tilde maintainer stopped communication a few months ago
https://portal.mozz.us/gemini/envs.net/~smokey/
The new one is bare bones right now I will work on moving over some of the better logs and articles. I talk about it more in the log I wrote up last night

Specifically check out tilde.town, it’s really cool. For more general information about the tildeverse, go to tildeverse.org
Tildeverse.org seems like it got a Lemmy hug if death. I can’t access it anyways.
It’s back up now
Interesting. Please click the link, it worth your time
On a related note, I host the Guardian to gopherspace here: gopher://theunixzoo.co.uk/1/the-guardian
If one’s interest isn’t in learning about Linux, host anything, do storytelling, run a radio station, or play Minecraft, there’s pretty much nothing to do there. 🤷♂
You just mentioned what really is available nowadays. If you could mention an example of a “web interest” that’s not covered, perhaps someone could start it on the tildeverse…
Well, from my POV, things that interest me online are Typescript, React, Html, Css topics, news, tutorials. I’m interested in hosting as well, and host websites for myself and inner family, but I don’t wanna go back to plain text. 🤷♂
Topics like browsers, smartphones, pc hardware, musical instruments, virtual reality, crypto.
Music production, FL Studio, and related music hardware.
So, definitely news and reviews from these fields - all that is available from regular internet, but if I could get that from other sources, alternative corners of the internet that respect user privacy, I would.
