Was really keen on tildes for a moment when we were going through the exodus stage with Reddit. I wasn't keen on the closed invite system.
I get they want to keep their own community and that's fine, but it's a shame they wanted to limit their growth in a time when people were looking for alternatives
I got my account by reading the FAQ’s and emailing directly.
It seems more of a step to weed out low effort posters which I’m not mad at tbh.
And that's why it's dead. Because what constitutes "low effort" is a discussion to be had, but that place is just the owner's backyard where they kick out anything or anyone they don't like.
Probably limited to keep the infrastructure from getting overwhelmed. It is a one person show after all.
