Just, a thing I had noticed when I went looking tilde.team over to try finding an appealing entry point for friends to have a bit of a lifeboat given how ... unfriendly the larger web has gotten. It's there that I noticed BBJ has a web interface. I'm assuming this is read-only? At the same time... I dunno if it'd be better to try getting a lemmy instance up that has a more general focus than tilde.news, or to try giving BBJ a web interface for writing posts. One of those cases of 'I want to try giving the people I want to migrate something that won't scare them off, but i don't know if that would break things.'

I came here specifically because this is not the WWW and because there is somewhat of a barrier-to-entry, mostly of taste. I generally dislike the idea of this being mirrored in the surface web.

Where'd you find info on the web interface? I couldn't see it on their github or docs. I am actually kind of happy this is NOT exposed to the web, since it makes brigading/trolling a bunch harder than visiting a website. Even your interaction with ~say there, we at least know that ~say was logged into the tilde instance rather than just some truly random web person. I applaud the effort of trying to migrate people though! It's tough and we have a whole generation now who has never experienced the web outside of social media... Hell, there's a huge portion who don't even use computers...

By web interface I imagine you're talking about bbj.tildeverse.org To be honest most of the time I'm reading over there. I confess that if it wasn't read-only I would participate more. Sometimes I'm active reader but don't reply for months. As much as I like the Terminal I lack time to ssh into something, or I just got lazy over the years.
