I feel awkward tooting my own horn here, but you might like this directory of blogs I started a while back: https://ooh.directory/ I haven’t had a chance to add many new ones over the past few months – it’s been a busy time – but there are still 2,300 to browse through. Phil

Having mostly shifted off social media and revived my RSS reader a while back, I’m always looking for new feeds to add, especially those maintained by some dedicated individual with an interest in a niche I can learn more about. For instance, Weird Fucking Games (https://wfgames.net/) consistently shows me interactive art I would never have found on my own, with a focus on itch.io-hosted stuff you can play right in a browser. Silent-ology ( https://silentology.wordpress.com/) covers a film era I know very little about with tons of research written in an accessible style. And Magical Trash (https://www.magicaltrash.com/) is literally just photos documenting the many varieties of garbage cans at Disney properties around the world. —brendn

I will setup/communicate a better solution to notify of downtime/upcoming downtime. I don't think a mailing list is the best solution for that. As for what to use the mailing list for here are some suggestions: Personal Projects Showcase: Share what you're working on—coding, writing, art, etc. Encourage others to do the same. Ask for Advice: Invite members to share their tips on coding challenges, server setups, or creative processes. Tilde History & Stories: Discuss the origins of tilde.club or share nostalgic moments and anecdotes from the community. Tech Trends & Discussions: Explore and debate emerging technologies, programming languages, or software tools. Creative Writing Prompts: Share a topic or theme and invite members to write short stories or poems. Tilde Themed Challenges: Create fun, light-hearted challenges like "Build a website in under 1KB" or "Create the most obscure ASCII art." Open-Ended Questions: Pose questions like, "What’s your favorite command-line tool and why?" or "What’s a project you wish existed?" Community Collaboration: Suggest collaborative projects like a community zine, shared website, or group coding project. IRC or Terminal Hacks: Discuss cool things you can do with IRC, shells, or terminal emulators. Monthly Theme Discussions: Rotate topics monthly—coding, philosophy, retro tech, etc. Game Nights/Events: Organize virtual events like coding sprints, trivia, or multiplayer games. Thanks everyone that replied!
