10 sats \ 2 replies \ @Storyteller 9 Sep 2023 \ on: First draft of my "Why you shouldn't use Stacker News" TABConf slide deck meta
Sort of like reddit:
Don’t do that.
Own your own space!! I never say I’m sort of like my brother. You also don’t present yourself like Sort of like Mark Zuckerberg but cooler.
Own your space meaning: what is stacker.news
A place where you can tell your stories about nostr, bitcoin, tech and stack sats and spend sats
That is it what can you DO. A grandma should be able to understand it and even people who don’t know Reddit should be able to understand it. I don’t know Reddit!!
In that sentence don’t include any other names. You are stacker.news period.
If you say sort like….. X, people’s mind start jumping to the X and their mind is not centered on your “thing”. Their mind is not open to receive new information.
Their mind tries to relate and find out what.
I see what you mean but I don't agree.
If I'm friends with your brother and you're more like your brother than most people, the fastest way for me to understand what you're like is for you to tell me you're like your brother ... with XYZ key difference.
My goal is to make people understand what stacker news is as fast as possible. The goal is to reduce the risk of confusion while understanding that it costs sounding special.
I'm surrounded by companies at TABConf who take your advice and no one could tell you what their company actually does. Often it's because they do 10 divergent things because they thought they shouldn't be restrained by understandable comparisons to things and confused even themselves in the process.

Ok I see your point. If most of your audience knows Reddit it makes sense.
