Specifically check out tilde.town, it’s really cool. For more general information about the tildeverse, go to tildeverse.org
I never heard about the tildeverse before, sounds really interesting. How does one choose which tilde to join, though? It seems to me like only cosmic.voyage has a specific theme, while the rest only differ in the OS running on the machine. Or are tildes just there to host your account, while all the interactions are done via irc?
Tildeverse.org seems like it got a Lemmy hug if death. I can’t access it anyways.
It’s back up now
Gopher. Now that’s a long time since I heard that name.
Interesting. Please click the link, it worth your time
Here’s my old homepage hosted on a tilde on the Gemini protocol

Here’s my new homepage hosted on a different tilde I just got up and running yesterday since the old tilde maintainer stopped communication a few months ago

The new one is bare bones right now I will work on moving over some of the better logs and articles. I talk about it more in the log I wrote up last night

Hi. I’m the guy that tipped HaD off to these things.
Tilde communities predate the Tildes ‘service.’ and is effectivly a return/recreation of the pre-graphical web service model of ‘you’re connecting with a specific machine and using its services.’
No it isn’t for everyone, and sadly no while most have email services gmail, icloud, etc refuse to interact with them.
I like it, but I’m functionally insane. It gives me a place to post static sites and my gemini based blog.

Nice gopher site! I recently(?)made one as well. Its kinda fun and easy to do. That CSS is awesome!
Gemini actually.
And the CSS for the http site is literally from ctrl-c’s main page with a few values tweaked, as i didn’t like fullblack on background, and I edited the widths a bit. I think.
Woops I always get those mixed up in my head. Which is silly.
I need to find time and look at all the amazing zines that are out there. ctrl-zine looks fun.
Next issue releases in April. We switched to quarterly because, to be honest, there was editor burnout trying to scrape for content each month and the zine ended up being like… three articles. VERY underwhelming.
I can see that!
Reminds me of sdf.org.
I’m loving the lore of the “tildeverse”, check out https://cosmic.voyage/ starting with the log entries. Feels like Futurama meets Unix Surrealism.
…that reminds me. I need to update the Stormsong ship logs…
SDF is kind of the grandaddy of it all. There is another system from 82, that is now under the care of SDF.
I’m sure absolutely nobody will confuse this with Tildes.
Tilde/Pubnix came first.
First one was a thing in 1982. SDF opened in 1989 as a unix server (was an apple IIe bbs in 1985.)
The resurgence of a lot of pre-web protocols is interesting, but I’m not entirely sure it’s going to be a sticky thing beyond a novelty.
Also 100% agree with the first comment that on an article about the small web half the content is YouTube videos being hilariously tone-deaf ironic. If only there were some other method of sharing videos with people. Perhaps some sort of tube that’s peer-to-peer? A PeerTube, if you will.
And thus you miss the point that tomasino used youtube as outreach. He also posts to peertube.

Now me linking to youtube when telling them about it was kindof an ‘on me’ sort of problem, but at the same time you need to make people aware a thing exists and to do that you must get outside of the thing’s bubble.
They have videos on peertube if I recall.
If one’s interest isn’t in learning about Linux, host anything, do storytelling, run a radio station, or play Minecraft, there’s pretty much nothing to do there. 🤷♂
