I was an ex-Digg who joined the exodus to Reddit, learned and had great conversations with many anonymous users. Reddit was already on its eternal September add Reddit was already taken over by astroturf, AI farm bots and censored by state government.

SN and Tildes feels like what old Reddit used to be. Looking forward outer.space

I've been meaning to sign up for a tilde. Any recommendations? My experience of the early web was IRC chats and geocities. It was all downhill from there. SN is a paradigm shift improvement. I hope it lasts. I think that once you get people used to the idea that participation can either cost you money or earn you money, it's easier to tweak the incentive structure to keep things cool, useful and fun. So I'm optimistic.

I agree about SN model I think with Nostr will be a game changer. I have seen bad reviews of Lemmy because it's nature using ActivityPub and people disliking the developer because his communist ideas. You can ask for invite at invites @tildes.net, I can't pm invites here in SN.

Cool! I actually wasn't familiar with tildes.net, I thought by "tildes" that you meant the tildeverse. Looks cool though, I'm going to check it out.

I didn't realize that the guy behind ActivityPub was a communist. I did briefly run my own mastodon instance out of curiosity, but I noticed that other instances had very strict moderation policies and would blacklist other instances that didn't have the same or similar policies. It also seemed that a lot of users were refugees from Twitter because they didn't like Musk's position on free speech, which I found to be a bizarre reason to flee to a less centralized, more open platform. I'm definitely a huge fan of free speech so I found that somewhat discouraging.

Oh I meant Lemmy's developer is accused as communist and other ideas American lefties dislike. I agree I am still using Twitter and still working fine, even community notes are a huge welcome.
