Kind of a dumb question but I'm using both and want to get other people's perspective on the two sites. I feel like here you can troll a little bit but with tildes not so much. What is your thoughts on the two?

They are sort of opposites I would say. Mainchan have the chan culture and is radically free speech. Tildes does not care all that much about anonymity, and strives to humanize users. Tildes has the singular mod, which seems to have a very paternal style of moderating. For example he locked a threading starting to go awry, saying that nobody wants to have the same conversation again and again. Tildes tries to solve problems inherent to reddit, so is a continuation of that type of vote based forum. Mainchan keeps to the old and simple, but with the convenience of vote based forums.
Frankly I am more positive towards Tildes, because at least it is trying to solve fundamental problem, while other sites seem to get more caught up surface level issues or modularity. If you got unjustly banned from a place, being able to jump into another universe doesn't fundamentally solve the problem of how to have good discourse for example.
just had a look at tidles and I must say the design is terrible
