I’d love more people chiming in on BIPs, but how much do people actually engage with BIPs here?
Taking as given the benefit of having a fourth place for discussing BIPs, is there a better candidate?
SN has a fairly diverse, knowledgeable, and interested user base.
I have no issue with adding a territory for it, I just don’t think that it would financially sustain itself after looking at Scoresby’s recent posts that mentioned BIPs, and most of them having a handful or fewer comments.
It certainly would be a more fruitful place than Xitter!
No territory is sustaining itself these days ://

Its world cup month. duh
And before that it was the NBA/NHL playoffs, and before that it was the Super Bowl, and soon it'll be Wimbledon and MLB playoffs, and then we'll be right back to our savior...real Football.
What's "real" football...?
I'm confident that it would not financially sustain itself anytime soon, but it sounds like this is being pitched as a sort of public good.
I agree. This is probably more of a prospective sub-territory, assuming those are still on the roadmap.
Sub territories certainly are on the roadmap (although I don't think they are next). Personally, I think a BIPs territory could work, but the founder would need to have a really good marketing plan.
It would take some nurturing on the part of whoever is interested in building it as a serious place for BIP discussion.
@k00b and @sox have been working on a way to run a SN territory on a custom subdomain, so there could be a bips.website.com and perhaps that will make it more interesting to a territory runner.
The advantage of a SN bips territory would be that it likely requires much less moderation effort than the current options.
On further consideration, it might not take much to make it viable. The pro and anti-110 people are throwing around a lot of sats on Predyx, so a similar dynamic might play out boosting and downzapping discussions.
I've been quite impressed by the predyx market on bip 110. But I don't know if that energy is the most sustainable: I am worried that it will kind of die away once bip 110 is over.
Obviously that energy isn't present for every BIP, so the territory might be a bit of feast or famine, depending on how contentious the BIPs are.
And lots of trolling and pleb-IQ noise!
I think it would be cool, but I didn't want to make the post about how SN fixes this (even though I think it does).
Why not a territory for such discussions?
