Good content is more valuable than bad content.
Value is subjective. Subjects will show you.
Your sats can change the world. Use them wisely. It's your responsibility.
Sats earned are lessons learned.
Helping others helps you.
Ask questions, don't assume.
Gain information from data, knowledge from information and wisdom from knowledge.
Only talking means no learning.
Not being a dick gets you peace of mind.

Can you think of more? Something is not right? Comment below... :)

I really like Dang's (HN mod) principles too:

Curiosity withers under repetition
Generic discussion is not interesting, at least not on internet forums
We want reflective rather than reflexive conversation
Diffs are what make an HN conversation interesting

no "downvote" sustains low effort posts
bots will be our downfall
when it gets too crazy, go to reddit

Wow such a bear.

This time could be different. Sats changes a lot. But this is what happened to every other hacker news clone.

21 sats \ 6 replies \ @k00b 1 May 2022

Do you remember the names of the clones? I'd love to research what happened.

Also, we plan to do downvotes.

Andrew Wilkinson created it. Good thread that discusses the pitfalls of feed aggregators

edit: fixed link

This Wilkinson link is good.

I still wouldn't so confidently map them onto what we're doing here, especially considering Wilkinson admits to neglecting the site, but still nice to know the issues they have.

What's wrong with crypto panic (other than the obvious)?

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @nullcount 1 May 2022

Nothing fatal. It seems to be doing well. Just that even the most sucessfull clones haven't even stood a chance against reddit.

High hopes for SN tho.

memes.
Bitcoin is backed by memes

Hold each other accountable for being respectful of others - debates are healthy (personal attacks are not)

Do you still pay taxes ?

engage in discussions and try to learn as much as possible

I found it useful for myself:

If you found some useful information you think could be helpful for others but it seems too hard for you to describe well, just start working on that anyway, because as Nelson Mandela once said: “It always seems impossible until it is done”

That’s it, that’s my thought.
