<p>we're a loose association of like-minded <em>tilde</em> communities. if you're interested in learning about *nix (linux, unix, bsd, etc) come check out our <ahref="members/">member tildes</a> and sign up!</p>
<p>we're working on providing services to <ahref="members/">the tildeverse,</a> a community of *nix boxes that aim to share the fun and love!</p>
<p>tildes are pubnixes in the spirit of <ahref="http://tilde.club">tilde.club</a>, which was created in 2014 by <ahref="https://medium.com/message/tilde-club-i-had-a-couple-drinks-and-woke-up-with-1-000-nerds-a8904f0a2ebf">paul ford</a>.</p>
<p>member status in the tildeverse mainly involves some level of engagement on irc; all other systems are independent.</p>
<p>stop by our <ahref="https://tilde.chat">irc network</a> (or use our <ahref="https://web.tilde.chat">web client</a>) and hang out. there's a bot that can toot from <arel="me"href="https://tilde.zone/@tildeverse">this mastodon account</a>, but it's mostly silly quotes from chat.</p>
