tilde

This article is a stub. You can help the IndieWeb wiki by expanding it with relevant information.

A tilde is a community on a shared *nix server usually run by hobbyists or other independents, named after the leading tilde '~' character for user profiles, and a few IndieWeb community members have accounts on tilde servers; the network of these servers is a or the tildeverse.

Often called a pubnix, the term 'tilde' more specifically applies to a loose organization of pubnixes with shared values and some cooperation around resources such as configuration, IRC network, and mutual assistance.

The "tilde" (~) of the name alludes to the "Unix user folder" pattern of providing a default website to users at the server name prefixed with a tilde (~) and username (e.g. https://tilde.example.org/~username/ )
