These would be cool additions to user generated subs.
Would it be possible to make a user-generated marketplace sub? (Just buy/sell classifieds like Craigslist, no backend for order/payment processing or escrows required.)
reply
You mean payments are handled out of band, not through SN? That would make things easier. It's possible for sure.
reply
Yes, similar to Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace or /r/Jobs4Bitcoins.
E.g. someone posts "Selling Thinkpad T420 for $150 BTC" or "Offering graphic design services for Bitcoin" and sets an optional boost for visibility, then someone contacts the seller (via Telegram, Matrix, email, etc.) and pays with their external wallet. Optionally a pinned post for reviews or people who are offering escrow services (also via external wallets).
Stacker.news could earn money via boosts or listing fees.

Yeah this sounds like a great idea.

The pre-requisite is to do DMs, right? And pre-requisite for DMs is better profile page (imo) :)

Yes. Priorities remain the same

oh is that still coming? nice!
Will user generated subs just give a little more of a cut to the SN crew then?
reply
idk ... I think we eventually move to model where we take a small fixed cut of everything and all the rest goes back to users. For now, I'm just happy people are enjoying being here tbh.
