      Why do we need a link to a thread about this on another forum?

        I'd usually agree with you here, but this one ā€“ if only for the thread starting with this comment: Access to a fuller story, and all that.

        Hi. My name is Brian Goegan and Iā€™m the one who sent that email. AMA!

        Access to a fuller story, and all that.

          Conceded: that sub-thread is definitely worth a link. Perhaps @jmillikin could have linked directly to that comment.

          No, I didn't click the link. If I wanted to read the Reddit discussion about an article, I would log in to Reddit.

          As I've discussed before, I've noticed a tendency for Tildes to act as a sort of Reddit offshoot. I really think that's a tendency we should discourage. Tildes should have its own discussion and its own identity, independent of Reddit.

            Reddit is a useful agregator, i agree that random threads shouldn't be linked. I personally use reddit through its "backdoor" so to speak either by using it like stack overflow by searching a question on Google and adding reddit to the end or through automation/ api, for instance my phone background automatically changes to the top of /r/earth porn. I'm essentially using redditors as my little ai helpers. As far as tildes I came here for a reddit alternative for real discussion and most other alternatives are either too established to allow new users ("this topic has been covered, learn to use search!") or are filled with people who are mostly interested in political discussion.

            You're absolutely right that tildes is still trying to figure out what it wants to be,and it might turn into reddit meta discussion if we're not careful.

    This is the first time I've ever seen HTTP 451. Even outline didn't help with the geoblock, but internet archive has a copy.
