Transcript for those who can't access twitter for some reason:

A tildeverse-builder named Mike Buchholz (info@retrodigital.net) offered to take over http://tilde.club AND the backlog of 10,000+ people who asked for accounts. I said, that would be a blessing!

If you had an account, it still works. If you asked, they'll be in touch. 9:21 AM - 13 Sep 2019

Paul Ford ‏ @ftrain Sep 13

I've had the strange experience, since Mike asked to take on this responsibility, of learning that http://tilde.club kicked off a scene called the tildeverse, with many sites, servers, and its own github. https://tildeverse.org

I wasn't aware that it had self-organized to this degree. Mostly I've felt guilty about http://tilde.club , which grew so fast and with so much interest that it needed a lot of time and love that I could not provide. It's great to see it was a spark for so many new things.

Michael Buchholz ‏ @MichaelBuchho13 Sep 13 Replying to @ftrain

Hopefully have backlog taken care of this week and other new sign ups available within the next week or so.

Paul Ford ‏ @ftrain Sep 13

I mean some have waited four years another week is no big deal.

Waitlisted people (like me) got accounts today. Yay!
