It'll have to start with a few posts that really grab his attention, imo. Maybe one of the deeper dives into libertarian theory or how bitcoin is a freedom enhancing money.

SN isn't that hard to use unless you want to attach wallets. I'm willing to seed new users with cowboy credits if they're vouched for by someone I trust

I'm not sure we want this guy around anyway. He seems to have run the gamut politically over the years, settling on libertarianism now. He thrives on attention, and fighting with people online is his main source of entertainment.

your observation doesn't mean the more general stereotype (boomer facebook refugee) isn't a woefully difficult yet relevant target market

trouble is, I don't think showing someone neither completed argument, nor the context from whence it sprung, is quite as convincing as the accumulated habituation to conversing within specific web UX [or touchscreen app]

"that's a wonderful article, lemme save a copy. thank you for sharing it." blah blah blah, you get replies in your conversation withim and maybe tomorrow he shares the article or even the link, without even registering for this site because wtf is crypto

observation about thriving on attention is good, however the negative feedback of zero zaps on consecutive comments doesn't obviously lead anyone to better behavior. similar dopamine loops could plausibly lead to constructive behavior. I don't want to equivocate "keep stacking sats" with "spend your cowboy credits one by one", although the incentive structures do align.

sorry for "talking at you" ; sometimes courtroom etiquette is better than free speech.

I tried downzapping and probably fucked up

sorry for your stack

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @Undisciplined 8h

Downzapping doesn't reduce the target's stack. It just reduces their post's visibility.

Keep in mind that you have to downzap more than one sat for it to actually do anything. I was making that mistake for a long time.

seed new users with cowboy credits

How many CCs are you gonna giveaway to these new users?

0 sats \ 4 replies \ @SimpleStacker 6 Sep

I'd be wiling to seed new users with 500 CCs

That is an interesting concept that we tried to navigate, how do we solve the almost certain exploitation? Privacy is ultra mega respected so we’d need to be creative.

100 sats \ 2 replies \ @SimpleStacker 6 Sep

I'd only do that for a new user who was vouched for by another user that I already trust

Kind of a referral based system! I wonder how we can crack this automatically. We got rid of freebies because they weren’t really useful 🫠

100 sats \ 0 replies \ @Undisciplined 6 Sep

I think freebies can be useful, but they need to be more limited. It's tricky with all of the different territory fees to have a fixed SN policy on them.

Maybe this could be set by territory owners. I'd like to experiment with the right number of free posts or free comments per day/week/hour/month/etc.
