Tildes simply doesn’t have the goals of “reddit alternatives” that are hoping to launch a new, popular site. It’s just doing its own thing. Personally I find it refreshing, but it’s definitely not for people who want to be part of the next “reddit” with millions of other people.

Sure, I definitely respect that and it is one of the things I like about it. I like the way it’s focused on conversations over cut n paste memes.

But I think I’ve found a similar experience here on Kbin by blocking meme heavy groups and joining more specific communities. I’m still going to check out Tildes every now and then though

Ah, one of Reddit’s more annoying rules.

I don’t know what you were posting but I don’t think my odds of having things removed were ever that high, lol

But it is nice to not have that feeling yeah

Tildes is controlled by Deimos and whoever Deimos approves of.

This is a theme emerging from a few of the comments which is odd to say the least. Makes it sound like a bit of a vanity project

If you go on their Reddit sub (I know) and ask for one you can get one pretty quickly

Squabbles seemed ok but they seem to have quite a lot of drama going on whenever I log in…

Damn good bit of sabotage. I knew that something would be waiting at the end before the admins could stop it

I’m more satisfied with my experience here personally. I don’t scroll for hours, I read a couple articles, maybe comment on them and move on. If I come across something interesting that isn’t already posted in my community here, I’ll actually post it because it might actually get some engagement.

This sums up my experience pretty well too. If I post something, it tends to get a good conversation going, which is nice. But overall I spend a lot less time. I read 3 books last month on my phone using the time I would usually spent on Reddit.

Eh… It’s only a website. Believe me you’ll get over it quicker than you think. I go back to it every now and then to check up on some old subs and I can’t believe how much time I wasted on there.
