As someone very fresh to the community (about 2 days now), I am struck by and, frankly, a little suspicious by the congeniality and support, all existing in a micro-economy!
A terrarium is a beautiful analogy. Unlike the wild, it's cultivated chaos. It is a frame around beauty attempting to highlight the sublime. I'm not sure you all ( and I guess now me) are trying to highlight the sublime, per say, but you have certainly showed me something beautiful about strangers interacting.
As for the sats--a little competition, a little commerce, well, maybe that brings out some good stuff in the people on here.
Yeah, I was instantly surprised by how a thoughtful comment would garner a decent amount of sats. People here definitely seem to value quality posts, which is pretty awesome. But once you've got yourself a small pile to throw around, you get into the habit of rewarding people for giving you something worthwhile to read. Even if you're just throwing down 10 sats here and there. It adds up, especially since SN people seem pretty generous with the zaps.
