Greetings, Stackers!
First post here, and I've got some quick introductory thoughts to share.
As a 100K+ Reddit karma whore, I've never been more confident that the time for disruption in the long-form/forum niche is now.
As someone who's been active on Reddit for over a decade, I can confirm this sentiment is rapidly growing among the hundreds of millions of active users, especially since their disastrous shitcoin experiment imploded a few weeks ago.
Very excited to learn the ropes, and join the fight to progress mass SN adoption with you all!
Keep calm and stack on 🤙⚡️

damn 100k+?
13k/33k karma whore here... welcome to SN!
reply
Yes indeed 😆
GME shitposting in 2021 was a free ride to the karma heavens lol
reply
haha nice... did you ride the /r/wsb GME train? I remained on the sideline but it was a wild and hilarious to watch...

Welcome to sn ⚡️

Stoked to be here! Hope you had an awesome weekend RB
reply
Great stuff. So when you deleting your reddit account? 🤣
reply
I think I'm going to keep it to use as marketing tool to funnel Redditors over here. Similar to how I use Twitter exclusively to shill Nostr now lol
reply
Makes sense. Just teasing. Great to have you here!
reply
Ahaha, fantastic use of Twitter.
reply
Welcome! You're off to a good start.
reply
I don't know what a cowboy hat is and at this point I'm too afraid to ask
reply
Just zap and all will work out.
reply
Wise man.

When a Reddit karma hoarder like you say Reddit is dead then I will believe you. Stacker News is where reward come in the value you bring and take
reply
The coffin nails increase by the day. Word is now out they're making a big push to IPO, so naturally they're gutting it of cool features and corporatizing/censoring more. Very hopeful this will spur more folks to migrate over here.
reply
We will welcome them with open arms.

Shitposters were born to be together.

I love it when they get wreck and come running to Bitcoin
Now you are already on your way to get 100k+ sats ;)
You can actually buy things with those. Like coffee or beer.
reply
it's true. i was really surprised how quickly i stacked 100k here. especially since i don't post that much. i mostly zap stuff, and hang out with the sports fans and degenerate gamblers in the ~meta threads
reply
What's the deal with the Meta category? Is that basically "Other" where you put anything that doesn't fit the other subs?
reply
i believe it was originally supposed to be for site discussion, feature requests, and stuff like that. recently @k00b has been promising more subs are coming, so in the meantime people will post "meta takeover" stuff if the sub doesn't exist. i think @grayruby started it for the sports discussion and nfl survivor pool, but there's a few of them now
reply
Awesome! Looking forward to keeping an eye on new developments!
Curious if these plans for sub-expansion will eventually call for moderators?
I modded a few subs back on Reddit, but the problem always was that there was no incentive to really do a good job, since all you got for the hard work was "karma".
Perhaps ⚡️ will fix this by incentivizing mods via sats? Or is the idea of "mods" shunned here in favor of ⚡️-voting being enough of a moderator in itself? @k00b

Dreaming of my first StackerNews ribeye...🥩😍

Welcome!

When I had a low level English I used pikabu (where I first time discovered and first time ignored Bitcoin). Later I used Reddit and it gives more precise information than simple google engine. Lately I discovered Stacker news and I'm exited about it. Team gathered the best practice here, killed spam, etc
Hope this place will become something incredibly huge
reply
Love it 👏
Excited to continue learning and becoming part of the community here!
reply
What happened with their shitcoin?
reply
Crashed and burned of course lol. So stupid 💩
reply
Karma is a fiat social currency.
Lightning/zaps is the real deal.
Welcome, refugee!
reply
Brilliant. That deserves a share 🔥
reply
welcome. i'm a reddit refugee as well
reply
It's instantly proving to be more fun.
Do you know any good resources that give a general walkthrough of how to make the most of the site?
reply
here's a good one from @Natalia
reply
Awesome, appreciate the rec! Will dig in tomorrow.
reply
for sure. you can ignore the stuff about how to link photos though, that was written before you could upload pics directly
reply
Speaking of uploading pics...is there any shortcut for searching/adding GIFs within SN? Or is everyone just googling/right-click-save/adding via the pic upload button?
reply
you can still link pics/gifs, but you can also upload directly with the little icon on the top right of the comment box. you can also preview the comment, to see if the link/upload worked
edit: the faq has more info #349
reply
is there any shortcut for searching/adding GIFs within SN?
There is not. Is there on reddit? Then I never realized, lol
Or is everyone just googling/right-click-save/adding via the pic upload button?
Yep, I believe so
Hey Ben and @k00b,
CoinOS is interested in AMA. The first one didn’t go so well because I didn’t coordinate with Ben and k00b
Coin OS is on telegram if you need to reach them. Let me know how I can facilitate
Thanks
reply
Just sent them a message from the SN handle on X so we can get something set up! Thanks for the ping 👍
reply
Did they respond on x?
reply
Yup! We're working on finding a time now, looking like next week
reply
thanks

Stacker news is fantastic! Another great tool built in top of the hardest money ever created
reply
No one is a bigger karma whore then me 😆

I get what you mean. I used to post religiously on r/cc and still comment occasionally on r/ethtrader. But the more I spend time on Stacker News, the more I want to divert my time and energy here to benefit from real conversations and authentic people and astute insights. Welcome!
reply
very true lets get adoption higher and keep promoting
