A collection of notable Tildes threads!
Hello! Have a good or unique thread that you found on this website that you want others to see? Feel free to suggest some and I will update them in this list! After a thread is added, I will also sort it by category.
Here's a wiki for it like @Algernon_Asimov suggested
Here's another wiki although this isn't specifically focused on notable threads.
Here's a google document for it
Meta
By making both "high-quality discussion" and "transparent community development" a core part of its identity, Tildes will always be dominated by people with "moderator/power user" personalities. - A thread discussing content elitism on tildes.
Scenario
If you found the secret to immortality would you tell anyone? - Self-explanatory title.
Some group wikis already list a few notable topics (check out the "index" page for each group under the wiki sitemap), but I'm not sure when they were last updated by the unofficial wiki contributors before deing added them to the recently introduced Tildes wiki.
Oh I had no idea about the Tildes wiki! Thanks for showing me it.
Maybe you could take some to look around and familiarise yourself with Tildes and its existing features before announcing big new projects...
Apologies. I will do that from now on.
This one, "If you found the secret to immortality would you tell anyone?"
What would be the point of this list? Is this a "best of" or a "most quirky" or "my favourites" list?
You've been here less than a day (possibly only an hour or so). Why are you suddenly collecting threads? What are you hoping to achieve, or contribute to Tildes?
Assuming there is a point to this list, would you want to collect these threads in a wiki page, rather than in a thread which itself will inevitably disappear behind hundreds of other threads and be lost?
Not meaning to be rude, but this is one of those times where your response could've been a lot gentler and kinder; you haven't really assumed good faith here, and if the OP wasn't so resilient, may have just left the site immediately—which no one wants.
Constructive positivity goes a long way to making a community enjoyable and Tildes is consistently lacking that amongst its power users in my opinion.
Well, I just thought it would be a cool thing. I was trying to start a general "best of" but I perhaps should have been more clear.
I was just hoping this thread would have been linked and referenced a lot, but a wiki page would probably work better now that you mention it.
See how you go. If you get enough responses, maybe someone could create a "best of" wiki page for them. I don't see the need for it, myself, but other people might.
So a new user found a website with cool content, wants to better categorize it, and you kind of went off on him for no reason.
@OneTriz here's my favourite thread about content elitism: https://tildes.net/~tildes/e0p/by_making_both_high_quality_discussion_and_transparent_community_development_a_core_part_of_its
Are you only looking for links from this group? The title and post body conflict a bit.
I've fixed the title.
Oh sorry, I was talking about the website in general, I probably wasn't very clear. But thanks to Algernon_Asimov for fixing it, I really appreciate it :)
