Tilde is a portal to other people's thoughts. Only on Gemini.

Tilde! Get down from there! Sorry, it's my ASCII Cat. Tilde!
Anyways...
While on Geddit, I stumbled upon a link that sent me around to...
Before moving on, I searched up what a "Tilde" was on Google. It's basically like that accent mark-thingy on top of n's. Prevalent within the Spanish language. Also, it's the lonely key at the upper-left hand corner on your keyboard.
On Gemini, Tilde is another one of those sites that shows Gemini accounts of people who choose to be there. After looking through some of them, I noticed that a lot of the profile linked had sections titled something like "Stuff I Like". That's so wholesome! Here's my favorite page of that nature:
gemini://tilde.pink/~denn/pages/favorite_things.gmi
Here, this person posted a bunch of sites pertaining to more centralized replacements for popular streaming and social media apps like YouTube and Spotify, which I thought to be very useful as I myself am doing more research regarding other mediums like the two.
While there are many other pages with inside scoops of random humans, I found that a lot of people's gemblogs aren't so fleshed out. Most are incomplete or small in size and content. Kinda sad, kinda understandable. I wonder how and why these people use Gemini? Obviously, class has driven me to the platform, but what about the other people on here? Obviously, they're hip to this type of thing. But why come and go? Interesting...
