Tildes Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• Ask HN: Why is HN not categorizing submitted items?

  I think they'd rather have one community rather than multiple communities oriented around different subjects. (See Reddit) I have been thinking about making a classification model for "things that might be posted to Hacker News" and was thinking about training it on https://tildes.net/. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Ask HN: How to get invites when your network is small?

  Https://tildes.net/ It was mentioned in recent HN thread on other websites that people who read HN like. But I do mean my question more broadly, not just about this particular website. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Ask HN: On improving the quality of submissions (on the top/front page)

  I don’t think comments make a story more visible on HN, it’s not like https://tildes.net/ My belief actually is that visibility of posts is suppressed if they get, say, 20 comments and already have 50 votes. So if you want to be systematic about posting comments with some “tough love” go right ahead. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• I'm a microbiologist and here's what (and where) I never eat

  People on Tildes thought the author of that article was a lunatic https://tildes.net/~food/1b92/im_a_microbiologist_and_here_is_what_and_where_i_never_eat. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Sites like HN on other topics?

  I really like Tildes https://tildes.net/ which is less focused, more about everything (god I wish I could frontpage an article about sports on HN) but has a much higher ratio of discussions to links (e.g. Ask HN is a joke) I have invites. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Tell HN: ChatGPT Can Decode Base64

  Some previous work related to this: https://tildes.net/~tech/15kn/rot13_base64_on_gpt4_reliable_hallucinations. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Ask HN: How to avoid social media enshitification, if no one pays for it?

  Https://tildes.net - might be a thing you’re describing. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Jeff Bezos on AI, 1998

  I wrote about my definition of intelligence earlier this month: https://tildes.net/~comp/194n/language_is_a_poor_heuristic_for_intelligence#comment-a2ka > I have a definition of intelligence. [...]. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Modernity has made us allergic

  What I find funny about this discussion is that I submitted the same link to Tildes (I've got invites) https://tildes.net/~health/197x/how_modernity_made_us_allergic#comments where people had a very different discussion that was overall quite negative compared to here, leaning in the direction that the article was alt-health hokum. I'm quite fascinated with the differences between this community and that... - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• High school boys are trending conservative

  Feminists have lined up with cultural conservatives before. The movement to get women the vote in the U.S. Was aligned with the movement for alcohol prohibition. When women got the vote they voted Republican (Harding, Coolidge, Hoover). Andrea Dworkin aligned with the Moral Majority against pornography, etc. Famously Ben Disraeli talked to a leftist and explained that he wouldn’t get anywhere because his ideas... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• What is the most underrated pdf available online

  That is a god-awful discussion, like 20% of the posts have links. Delete your Twitter, run don’t walk. This is like going from an IQ of 5 to 500 https://tildes.net/~music/18e1/what_do_you_think_is_the_most_interesting_weird_music_genre. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• Ask HN: Where have Reddit communities migrated to?

  I'm having a good time on https://tildes.net/ Mostly because it has few users, and those users tend to write for the benefit of others rather than the benefit of themselves. Since there is no visible karma/upvote score there's less motivation to post low-effort highly agreeable content. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• There are no new social networks

  > Where is the public open chats of cyber space? It used to be every tech-savvy person had their own PhpBB instance and built small communities with that. All that has largely migrated to Discord, Reddit, Facebook Groups, and to a lesser extent: Lemmy & Mastodon. There's also quite niche and bespoke communities like Subreply[0], Tildes[1], and Raddle[2] (Built with Postmill). I prefer the Reddit style Karma system... - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• I am sorry reddit. I have been here for over 10 years, but I'm outie.

  Tildes kind of feels like old Reddit or the old internet a little bit. I've moved there for more longer discussions. But I still go to lemmy/squabbles for.. Uh fun stuff. Source: 10 months ago

• Cheeky Car Cleaning - Weekly Discussion Thread, June 26th, 2023

  Don't use mobile much but atm I think tildes and squabbles have the highest potential for a full exodus. Former was made by deimorz but is still by-invite. Source: 10 months ago

• [Meta] reddit and r/Switzerland are dying, time to move away to kbin

  I also have a couple of invites left for tildes. DM me if you're interested. Source: 10 months ago

• Apollo is dead. Long live Apollo

  One option not mentioned so far: gemini://bbs.geminispace.org Also +1 to https://tildes.net The important thing: use multiple sites to hedge your habits against such issues. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• Today is Apollo for Reddit's last day, and I just released its last update. 🥹 I just wanted to say a big thank you to the folks who have used and supported Apollo over the years, it's been the dream of a lifetime to build this app over the last 9 years. ❤️ Read the eulogy inside! ❤️

  FYI, the RIF develop is working on https://tildes.net as a free and open discussion platform. Invite only currently. Source: 10 months ago

• REDDIT WAS FUN... WHAT'S NEXT?

  I’m working on an app for Tildes.net, a nonprofit, discussion-oriented community. Source: 10 months ago

• It's almost Rexxit time for me...

  Limited growth means, for now, that topics are more general. Not many people around to talk about unicycling, for example. See for yourself. Source: 10 months ago

• [Meta] Announcing realtesla@lemmy.world

  There's specialized communities: such as https://squabbles.io, https://lobste.rs, and https://tildes.net/. Unlike Reddit, these sites are aiming at smaller growth, so its more difficult to sign up for these communities. Like https://beehaw.org, without the hopes of future federation, they have strong moderator teams and seem to have built a good community. Source: 10 months ago
