50 sats \ 5 replies \ @k00b 28 Apr \ on: My Review and Experiences About Stacker News After Using It for a Few Weeks bitcoin
Nice overview! I always like these because it helps all of us jaded regulars see how others see it.
Kind of a tangent: I don't like us being positioned at odds with nostr.
I see us as allies rather than enemies even if many nostr people harbor weird, inexplicable to me, feelings toward us.
We are value-similar even if I haven't yet put SN on nostr or a nostr-like protocol. I prefer the vitriol to be one-sided and for it to have no room in me. Let the haters hate, and the influencers monetize it, while the builders build and the stackers stack.

I hear you on that. That ‘meme’, if you can call it that, was tongue in cheek and meant to motivate us to all zap more on Nostr.
Long-term it’ll happen, there just isn’t quite the incentive structure just yet at the protocol level.

Oh, I know what you meant well with it! Some people on nostr just have weird feelings toward us and it makes me sad.

I genuinely think a lot of them have never even used the site. Certainly not recently. Nostr is their exclusive social space. Each month the team here is building more bridges and more touch-points to the protocol. Know you will continue shipping & integrating.
When all is said and done Stacker News may be the biggest platform to bring people to Nostr. Perhaps you have some strong metrics around that already. Number of user auth pairs, cross-posts etc. Almost all negativity comes from ignorance, not from insight.
You’ve secured a sustainable product that will be around for years, whilst many on Nostr are disillusioned at the lack of monetisation opportunities. They will come around. I know you know this but all they lack is such insight 😄

Sounds a lot like goldbugs and bitcoiners, where they are the former, and we are the latter; they know that we're right, deep down, but don't want to convert. 🧡🌝😋⚡

It's the ones that have used the site and treat us like a leper that sadden me the most. Plots will be lost when their loss is mistaken as profitable and bygones will be bygones I guess.

I don't know about biggest :) but it's something I've said I think we do and see as one of our roles.
