I relate it to Reddit, but without the censorship.

i like that because it can segue into both an important discussion about censorship and zapping, and it's easy to grasp quickly.
i heard someone else say it before, but there's something somewhat off-putting about describing one company by comparing it to another one.

You may also have heard me say that. There’s a difference between interpersonal communication and branding, though.

If the person I’m talking to already gets bitcoin, then I’ll certainly bring that up. Otherwise, I think of bitcoin as part of why Stacker News works, rather than what Stacker News is.

i like the way you phrased that

Edit: saying SN is awesome "because bitcoin," doesnt really capture its essence

"You shitpost for zaps... Like, I write stuff and share links etc, and people just send me small amounts of bitcoin, like... for fun. And there's no moderator or money laundering expert standing in our way."

I think that's great...for people who like bitcoin and shitposting. Most people probably find both pretty off-putting though.

they have no idea what they're missing out on!

I thought you were going to say that being off-putting is a feature not a bug.
