However, I think with the magic of friction-less payments, the free market will help show us what is most salient and I think we will be surprised with how the territory topic results will pan out compared to other artificial communities created on other sites.

keep experimenting, it’s so early
in two weeks will see which territories start dropping off

Yeah, that's my feeling at this point. Gonna be interesting to see what happens with territories.

i think they will still exist, it just won't have an owner and someone else can takeover.

It’ll take forever to scroll the territory lost before long

A mute territory option would be nice. Please. Muted territories posts would not appear in my home pages and then we could always have an "All" territories page.

I think the opposite would be better: to subscribe to territories.
Whitelists are better than blacklists, not only when it comes to ~security.

Or it could be both!
If you end up both sub and muting a territory, then mute would take priority
If we only have subs, then you may miss new territories being created that could interest you unless you visit the all territories from time to time.

We'll probably have both at some point but I think if we're going to prioritize muting or subscribing, prioritizing subscribing makes more sense imo.

I assume it will probably end up like reddit- "Home" feed defaults to your subscribed territories and a "front page" where popular content surfaces from all of the territories.

the fact their titles are not all lowercase is what bugs me the most

We're in the territory boom now, there will be overlaps and competing ones and we will see which ones survive, some might be too early for the current audience on SN, but may thrive in the future
I think subscribing to a territory/notifications for ones you like can help with the flow and it's going to be interesting to see how they compete for users attention, is it through curation and high signal content or is it through rewards and how do they monetise themselves?

I don't think "fractured" is the right word.
It's the homepage that's less useful from this! Not SN as a whole.

I recently just started so I only know the dividend groups.
What was SN like before and why is this an important change?
Was the website just a random collection of articles and thoughts in one pile and then the most popular ones came to the trending?

There was only ~bitcoin, ~nostr, ~tech and ~meta before. The site started with no territory at all and it was implicitly only about ~bitcoin. With more stackers and nostr becoming a thing a year ago / early this year, we added ~nostr. ~tech and ~meta followed at some point.
Since 2 weeks, stackers can create territories themselves now.

I agree but only because there are WAY TOO MANY territories. Like way too fucking many. @k00b

Territories is a good experiment.
Not sure if this is the best for SN in the end, but we will see, it is interesting
