    Another reddit alternative https://www.reddit.com/r/RedditAlternatives/comments/145om2g/a_little_about_tildes/

    Looks ok but I don't think its federated

    I think it was a good alternative, but it not being federated nor able to create communities makes it a bit lame. I really liked it, but it's hard to find interesting use for it when it doesn't let you have the spaces or topics that you want to cover other than the already defined ones.

    Yeah the lack of federation is a deal breaker for me. Nothing stopping it from going the way of reddit.

    Really hard to care about a niche social network like this if it isn’t federated, honestly. Far as I’m concerned it could go the exact same way as Hacker News or Reddit.

    Any more info on what is meant by the Hacker News comment?

    Some people (granted, I remember reading this on Reddit) consider Hacker News to be full of right wing chuds. I personally just found it to be pretty full of techbros and programmers who were weirdly up themselves the last few times I tried to use it. r/programmingcirclejerk was basically all Hacker News comments lol

    What happened to Hacker News? It doesn't appear to have changed, though I haven't used it in years. It was always a bit too techbro for me.

    Same opinion I have of it, too techbro. Easier to avoid those circles on a federated site.

    Its still alive and well. Its generally less memey and focuses on a higher quality of discourse. Its a different environment that can still be fun but its definitely brainier. Nothing wrong with engaging intelligent people, it makes you smarter.

    One of the many lemmy-like federated sites; I wonder if it lets you sign in with accounts hosted on the lemmy instances since those sites are federated with tildes. Apple mail lets you sign in with both outlook and gmail, and as I understand it, certain apps for Mastodon let you view Lemmy posts (I use Ice Cubes which does) since most of its instances are fedded with us but with a lot less functionality since this site doesn’t let you repost like mastodon does and mastodon only lets you upvote things

    Edit: Apparently it’s not federated. Guess there’s nothing stopping it from just being another Hivemind-That-Must-Not-Be-Named in training.
