    Tildes and bluesky are missing the boat by being invite only at this time. They could have had the migration by being better developed alternatives. Instead they’re losing everything to lemmy and kbin.

    Yeah, I understand they would struggle to scale this suddenly for the influx. Like lemmy and kbin did, but the alternative is that they’re now forgotten and missed the boat.

      Most Tildes users (at least the ones who’ve been active for a while) don’t want it becoming like Reddit. It’s more a forum for thoughtful discussion than a link aggregator or meme/joke sharing platform. Low effort comments and jokes are literally marked as ‘noise’. It’s a quality over quantity thing. From the discussions I’ve seen there on this topic they’re quite happy to have “missed the boat”. This might change with time, but I don’t expect that to happen for a while.

      Tildes isn’t supposed to be a reddit. It’s just for small scale discussions and posts, I’m not thinking they’re looking to expand.
