# What is tilde.club?
- http://tilde.club is one unmodified unix server on the Internet where several hundred people have accounts.
- Tilde.Club is *also* an emerging, mutually supportive community of <del>dozens</del> <del>hundreds</del> thousands of people who enjoy working with in the tool-rich, very social Unix programming environment.
- Many, many of these people want to help new users use these open, free tools to empower themselves. Even new users who are scared of command-lines. Especially new users who want to learn but don't like being laughed at. _We won't laugh at you because we know how hard it is to learn about technology. If this is confusing we will try to help._

Basically, one person had a few too many drinks and launched a cheap computer in the cloud. Github user @ftrain is the initiator and de-facto coordinator until he burns out.
- [Here is the FAQ](http://tilde.club/~faq/) which is being developed here at this GitHub repository.
- No particular entity controls tilde.club. It's emerging as sort of an open, basically free mini-Internet for people who need some refuge from the regular Internet. It was founded with the rule, "no drama," a rule directly inspired by the amazing Mary J. Blige song "No More Drama." So far there's only been a little drama. It's only been three weeks, though.
