70 sats \ 1 reply \ @cryotosensei 20 Jun \ on: Some Thoughts on My Failed SN Recruitment Effort meta
Honestly, I first came here for the sats. The desire to learn n have good conversations came later when I felt embarrassed about the generosity of some Stackers (maybe you were one of them) towards me. I think these Minds users may just want a place to air their views, hopefully earn some quick crypto, and not have to engage with others. Because engagement requires thinking, and maybe some netizens aren’t looking for a place to think deeper and sharper.
I have been quite consistent in getting people from Publish0x, a site that pays writers ETH and OP on the OP chain. At least two active Stackers are my referrals from Publish0x. Darn proud of myself, okay. And yup I confess. I quite like ETH too. Haha.
Edited to add that I don’t think it was a failed experiment. Because you sowed the seeds. Who knows how long it would take some of them to germinate? Not many people are motivated to explore a whole new site based on a MINDS post. If you keep up your publicity efforts, maybe some of these people would be enticed to come to SN to look see look see (popular Singlish term) in due time.
I think you're right. I think they're happy just posting their views out into the void and getting no response.
One reason I wanted to highlight the community elements of SN, is because that's who I wanted to attract. Sure, people like us (I was also sat hunting, at first) can come to see the value of this community.
The risk was that there are orders of magnitude more Minds users and a flood of them could irrevocably damage Stacker News, if the wrong ones were attracted.
