A few years ago when I was new to tildes a typed tildes.com directly in the URL bar. I realized I'd forgotten the correct domain extension and did a web search for "tildes community" or something similar.
One of the results was for tilde town . At the time I glanced over it and thought about joining but I never got around to it. Last July I somehow stumbled over it again and this time I applied to join.
It's a pretty cool place.
The idea is that it's a Linux server that each user gets an account on. You then ssh into it - and that's where the community lives!
They have a chat system, a forum system, microblogging that's private to that community, command line games (some of which are multi-player) and a bunch of other really neat features. Each user even gets a folder in their home directory that let's them serve up public web pages.
Technically they have about 2,000 registered users, but the number of actual active users seems to be similar to our community here.
The vibe reminds me a lot of what we have here except that tilde town is casual "slice of life" only and doesn't do news articals at all. Some of their forum posts are similar to our own, with posts for what people are reading and watching and what projects they are working on.
Ive enjoyed my time there so far and I'd encourage any one who's interested to check it out. My username over there is grendel84, stop by and say hi!

Many of you might be familiar with the popular and massively growing antiwork/work reform movement that found a home in the r/antiwork subreddit. Well, recently, the founder of the subreddit was invited on Fox news for an interview and
it went about as well as you could expect(We shouldn't support r/Cringetopia) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yUMIFYBMncSub is now private, an offshoot called /r/WorkReform has been launched and everyone hates the old mods now.

I've been poking around on the fediverse again and I figured I'll never start using it unless I'm following some people. So, who here is on it? Please share some other people you follow, if you like.
I made an account a while back, and it was on the default instance since I didn't know any others to choose. I feel like it's a deliberate choice though (if nothing else it will give me a more curated timeline to scroll through) so I'd like to be deliberate about it at some point.

So we have many communities and everyone gets free *nix shell access, you can ssh into the remote server (mostly ubuntu) and do whatever you want! I mostly go there to talk with other users.
It is all old school, we use the command line and there is no gui that you can work with. You have to use the cli for everything you do (easy to learn).
You can -
- learn programming
- make webpages
- make new friends
- play games
- learn more about *nix
and much more.
See https://tildeverse.org to get started. (https://tilde.team/wiki/?page=other-tildes for more tilde servers)
I'll suggest you to join ctrl-c.club or tilde.town and then try other servers. You can make account everywhere ofc. I am ~cyaniventer on tildeverse, see ctrl-c.club/~cyaniventer
