Invites & Re-evaluating IRL connections

Posted by Lazarus

Noticed the ability to generate the three invite codes a few days ago (ed: go to your user page and under Misc. hit “Invite Someone”) and started excitedly going through my mind with who I would add. That came to a crawl and then a pause when I started thinking about a few things:

  • Do I want family to know my Tildes handle? I’m not doing anything bad here, and certainly don’t plan to, but I may want to ask a question regarding something happening to the family at one point. Hard to know what the future will bring.
  • I have several friends who would certainly join, and probably wouldn’t do anything bad/wrong, but more importantly would they actively contribute?
  • What about my “fun” colleagues? Well, again do I want them to know my ~handle or would that be setting things up for something awkward down the line?

Lots to consider. To those of you who have already sent invites, what did you think about? What was the final process that worked for you? Or, alternatively, who thinks I need to stop whining and send out the damn invites already?

    Most of the people who I would want to invite are my fellow mods on reddit. They pretty much already know me as I am going to be here, so there wouldn't be much of a problem. I probably would invite one person that I know IRL, but I wouldn't be surprised if he's already here. Other than that, I wouldn't invite anyone until the site is out of both Alpha and Beta testing.

    Edit: It seems like not everyone has invites at the moment. I've checked and I do not have any, but I only joined yesterday, so that's not surprising to me.

    I try to get my colleague to sign up, he missed the Reddit thread for invite. How do you even generate invite code?

      steve (upper right) -> settings. There should be an option to generate codes.

    I just mentioned the codes in an r/technology thread. That got rid of them quickly.
