Seems like the rif dev made an app for tildes instead
Yeah I know. kinda disappointed about that.
What's Tildes? Another Reddit clone?
Strange I didn't stumble upon it until now, seems to be active since 2019.
Being invitation only probably hasn't helped spread the word out, and when I've seen it brought up, the strict moderation has brought out complaints.
Not attacking the platform for those things, their house, their rules, but I could see where that keeps them more under the radar.
It was a community built by a former Reddit backend developer, Deimos. He also built the subredditsimulator subs and automoderator, and is looking to purposefully cultivate an online community that avoids some of the common pitfalls, mainly:
Personally I love what he's done with the place. It's small, but it's big enough and I find that the quality of comments is far better than what you might find in most corners of the internet. I've also got a few invites if anyone wants to check it out.
Also the Tildes app is astoundingly good for what the developer is calling an "alpha".
I see, I myself am not really against the idea of strict moderation. So many times, on many sites where I had some sort of moderation powers, I've always wanted to just fucking ban people who tip toe around breaking the rules or being assholes, but not quite breaking the barrier.
Yes, with an emphasis on no jokes or memes, serious discussion only.
It's one of the downsides of the reddit reckoning: there are so many different fediverse communities/sites now that existing subreddit communities have been split across different sites.
