The post announces a new "Agora" section on Stacker News, inspired by ancient Greek marketplaces. It's a community platform for buying, selling, and advertising services or skills, embracing the creative and entrepreneurial spirit of users. The post suggests using tags like [BUY], [SELL], or [HIRE] for clarity, and encourages diverse postings, from external product links to discussions. It advises against sharing personal details on SN and suggests external communication for trades. Posting currently costs 2 sats, possibly increasing in the future, to ensure serious and valuable community engagement.
