Tildes is another website trying to be the new Reddit.
Tildes is very much not trying to be a new Reddit. And certainly not the new Reddit.
Tildes has a clear vision for itself as a mature forum for long text-based discussions, with the trappings of a link aggregator.
There are no image posts (although posts may link to an image), and memes and shitposting are discouraged at best. There are also no user-created communities (subreddits) at this time - although there may be in the future.
If you enjoy old-style discussion forums, you’ll probably enjoy Tildes - but it’s certainly not trying to compete with Reddit, Lemmy, kbin, or anything else. It’s doing it’s own thing.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !news@beehaw.org
Breaking news from around the world.
News that is American but has an international facet may also be posted here.
Guidelines for submissions:
Where possible, post the original source of information.
If there is a paywall, you can use alternative sources or provide an archive.today, 12ft.io, etc. link in the body.
Do not editorialize titles. Preserve the original title when possible; edits for clarity are fine.
Do not post ragebait or shock stories. These will be removed.
Do not post tabloid or blogspam stories. These will be removed.
Social media should be a source of last resort.
These guidelines will be enforced on a know-it-when-I-see-it basis.
