    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. 🤷‍♂

      You just mentioned what really is available nowadays. If you could mention an example of a “web interest” that’s not covered, perhaps someone could start it on the tildeverse…

        Well, from my POV, things that interest me online are Typescript, React, Html, Css topics, news, tutorials. I’m interested in hosting as well, and host websites for myself and inner family, but I don’t wanna go back to plain text. 🤷‍♂

        Topics like browsers, smartphones, pc hardware, musical instruments, virtual reality, crypto.

        Music production, FL Studio, and related music hardware.

        So, definitely news and reviews from these fields - all that is available from regular internet, but if I could get that from other sources, alternative corners of the internet that respect user privacy, I would.

    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.

        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.

    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.

      If only there was a way to communicate without videos. The Mesopotamians had something like that but the technology was unfortunately lost.

        While I hate the videofication of everything as much as the next person. Looking at a regular website these days is even worse than YouTube with ads… Cookies bro? You want to subscribe? Can we send you browser messages?? Here are 10 ads that move the text around that you were just reading…

    Here’s my old homepage hosted on a tilde on the Gemini protocol

    https://portal.mozz.us/gemini/tilde.team/~smokey/

    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

    https://portal.mozz.us/gemini/envs.net/~smokey/

    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

      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?
