I discovered Tildes several months ago. I have no affiliation but I thought the HN crowd might appreciate it.

I like the approach the creator is taking with the site and is a great candidate for a Reddit-like community with more intelligent discourse.

So is this kind of like HN but for everything? I’m digging it.

This looks great! Can anyone sponsor an invite for me?

(Tildes is my site)

The best explanation of the site's goals is probably still the original announcement blog post: https://blog.tildes.net/announcing-tildes

Here's the discussion on HN at the time (note that the site was totally private at that time and you couldn't even view it without an invite yet): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17103093

Feel free to ask any questions, and if you're interested in an invite please just email the address in the blog post and I'll send you one soon. It's not intended to be difficult to get an invite, I just want to keep the growth controlled while a base site culture and more features get built up.

Any chance of an invite from an existing user? This post alone has me thrilled: https://tildes.net/~talk/l4d/you_must_time_travel_to_any_tim...

I would also be interested in an invite, this looks like the type of community I've been wanting.

Yep, I can. How can you be privately reached?

Reddit clone? I think HN was a redditclone too right?

> a great candidate for a Reddit-like community with more intelligent discourse.

Except the mod makes no effort to explain policies like HN mods do, and will ban accounts without explanation or recourse. Very clannish, IMHO.
