Tildes.net – a non-profit, open-source, text-focused Reddit alternative

I&#x27;ll sign up for Tilde the second someone can name me a platform that has out-lasted reddit, without selling customer data, and without being federated<p>I&#x27;ve yet to hear an example, and I have a functioning memory, and not eager to keep repeating this same cycle.<p>It&#x27;s like password managers. Every few years the current popular one has a misstep and everyone flocks to the next closed source, for-profit alternative. Meanwhile I&#x27;ve been using &quot;pass&quot; for over a decade. Do we think it took me longer to learn pass, or longer for folks to migrate hundreds of passwords multiple times?

Being an invite-only alpha kills Tildes for me, even though I’m interested in it. It seems the closest to what I want out of a Reddit alternative.<p>I would hope the community would understand outages, bugs, and oddities if they made Tilde an open alpha.

I love reading Tildes, it&#x27;s great. It reminds me of reddit back when they started, and of HN: interesting discussion without jokes and puns destroying the discourse on the site. I find a similar quality of discourse on <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;themotte.org" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;themotte.org</a> as well, even if the topics are a bit more politically charges, sometimes.
