It looks like they have their own “vibe” and rigorously enforce it in their own community. That’s fine, it’s their service after all. Feels a bit strange to turn away potential new users when people are looking for viable alternatives
I don’t think Tildes is turning anyone away, not sure where that narrative comes from. Anyone can request an invite from the owner themselves.They are just not looking for explosive growth like some of the other services are.
In fact I think the invite system is an effective way to keep the boys away as the free-for-all signups are easier to game.
People parrot this as if getting a Tildes invite is like getting invited to join the Freemasons or something like that—it’s not that hard to get an invite.
And for those who are just going to lurk, you don’t even need to register to view everything.
But if you’re trying to be a Reddit competitor getting an invite is sabotaging your mission. I’ve been on Reddit for 10+ years and I’m actively looking for a replacement, but I’m not going to search for someone that can send me an invite to a new social media site
ok, but Tildes isn’t setting itself up as a Reddit competitor, like, its goal isn’t to get people to move away from Reddit. It’s just its own thing which happens to have some similarities to Reddit but with a bunch of differences too.
Sadly tildes is invite only it seems.
From what I can recall, you aren’t missing much. The power hungry admins are intense there.

They aren’t bashful anywhere

Sounds like the perfect recipe to become like the next Google+ though
Yeah, but just asking for one is usually enough. It isn’t difficult to get, just enough to totally prevent bots or massive multiple accounts.
Afaik you just email him and he will give you one it is not like they are overwhelmed with people.
Received an invite after a week.
It isn’t bad of a turnaround time, really.
I have 5 invites I can give out, PM me if you’re interested!
I would love one if they’re still available
I would love one please if you still have some!
Can’t seem to figure out how to PM you, so here you go, hope nobody steals it out from under you. :( I have 3 left to give after this one:

Thank you!
I would be happy to receive an invite :)
Sorry! I only had five to give out! If it lets me have more I’ll swing back and shoot one over to you!
I’d love an invite too if I’m not too late!
Can’t seem to figure out how to PM you, so here you go, hope nobody steals it out from under you. :( This is the last one I can generate!

If you haven’t received an invite to join Tildes yet, just email invites@tildes.net and ask. I received one 2 weeks after requesting.
