POLL: Stacker News Slogan \ stacker news ~meta

This slogan I have to read 10's of times to get comfortable with it. Every read digs its barbs deeper in my memory. Strangely, it makes perfect sense in terms of semantics and couldn't be shorter - it's just kind of a tongue twister.

Good point. Enjoying it is less important than remembering it.

e.g. Trumps typos and misphrasings and factual inaccuracies are painful, but I never re-read a Joe Biden tweet 10 times to figure it out. I only vaguely recall Joe Biden having a presence on twitter as a result.

people usually will not come if they know they need to pay to post, because the crowd will compare with what else is available and always pt for the cheaper or more convenient option. Why one shuld pay to post here and reach a niche when can do the same on X or r/ and reach the masses?

I'd probably keep all the payments and rewards working in the background... hide it. Let people post freebies but don't let them know it is as such and has less visibility. They will get it at some stage.

Same for the rewards, give it away to those that deserve it, but don't make it a public thing or a hook for predators to join the competition... it's more about collaboration.

Last, just visualize and present what today is named sats as zaps, karma or points... they are no sats anymore, and people get confused by the sybil fees anyway.

If we think it's better to not make it a tongue twister, we could do:

"Pay to post. Earn to stay."

Comparatively, it's boring, but it is explicit, brutally plain, and proposes a challenge.

This one is really good.

I like @Car's "The Front Page of Bitcoin". Even if it's not exactly true, it's true enough to not be false advertising.

If that's too bitcoin-specific, I'd go with something like, "Value-for-value online communities"

I think "Like Reddit, but we pay Bitcoin" is great for helping people understand what SN is, but I also think many people have a negative association of Reddit now

The Reddit comparison is what peeked my interest, but ultimately I don't think SN's slogan should reference another site.

I don't think SN's slogan should reference another site.

Yeah, I agree

honestly, as great as these all are i feel you've done something really great with the cowboy/western theme and none of these really reflects this.

imho, you have a strong brand and the slogan should keep leaning into that.

I've wondered about something really simple like "Be heard"

What's the biggest point of dissatisfaction with the rest of social media? What's the most direct way to address it?

For me, the biggest frustration was low engagement (both qualitatively and quantitatively).

"Joakim Book bet good money on Prydx that we will die."

Can we say something like

"real content pays off - in bitcoin"

That implicitly includes both the idea of giving and receiving zaps for good content, and each user will interpret it to the side of their interest. It also implicitly gives the idea that "being rewarded for real" is to receive bitcoin.
