Re:Tildes – A non-profit community site driven by its users'... by DC-3 on Friday May 18, 2018 @07:22PM (#17105715)
In a strange event of serendipity, my frustration with the reddit redesign boiled over today and I paid a visit - as I do once every few months - to /r/RedditAlternatives. Not two hours previously, this site had been posted - and from my initial skim-reading of its ethos page onwards I have been blown away by how well engineered it is. I've spent three years building up a mental model of the perfect community site, and it's just turned up out of the blue as tildes.net.

Tildes is, in a way, built by /r/theoryofreddit and some awareness of past social media and forum history.

The ideas aren't new, not really. We've been on reddit bitching about reddit for 10 years. All tildes is came out of those bitch-fests about what reddit and other sites lack, how they should operate, why can't we have nice things, etc etc etc.

Since reddit refuses to evolve, here we are.
