Since is ambiguity between tilde.club or Tilde.club, opt for
Tilde.club. The exceptions is when refering to tilde.club as a directory, or as a host, or when refering to the tilde.club server. The goal is to always refer to the Tilde.club community with a capital T. Signed-off-by: keyboardan <keyboardan@tilde.club>
