Big use for me is to add an addendum to a post, especially if I've stated something that I've changed my mind on. Another is if someone adds valuable context whether or not it is popular. This has a lot of utility.
Its a pattern on many apps and when you mentioned it I was really wishing I had it on one of my posts about ETFs because the stackers shifted my thinking.
Pinned posts create a perverse situation, making it impossible to zap the original poster. It would only make sense to allow pinning after 24 hours if the original poster is not the same as the territory owner ? @sn

Mhh, you're right. I marked it as "MVP feature creep" in the PR:
[ux] allow pinned items to get zapped (requesting for comments, optional)MVP feature creep, let's get some user feedback first
But I was imagining pins to be used mainly content that already got old when I was thinking about it. Also, the UX around zapping wasn't obvious to me. But I guess I'll just allow zapping by clicking the pin icon as if it would be a zap icon.

I guess that's just a bandaid. I'll just add zapping
You mean that the pin icon shows up? Mhh, kind of. I can see that it's confusing but I thought it would also be confusing to now show it.
I will change it to only show in the territory hot feed (where it actually has a fixed position). In posts, pins are always fixed (no matter the sorting).
