Future stackers aren't on X for the most part. They're on reddit, hacker news, and less wrong. They're people that want to be pseudonymous, honest, helpful, and vulnerable - forum folk, plebs not celebs. X tbh is nearly the antithesis of that.

At least, that's my hypothesis and to test it we need to hire the right person to recruit from there.

Mostly agree but anecdotal counterpoint. I found SN from twitter (X) and once I tried it, realized it was such a better community, experience that I was hooked. Not saying all bitcoiners on X are looking for that, many who were migrated to nostr.

Years ago I did a ceiling tile replacement for a car dealership. When I was working on the ceiling and looking down I noticed the lights were not reflecting off the porcelain floor tiles. I told the GM your porcelain tiles need to be resurfaced and he said "No we just did that a couple years ago. They said it should last 10 years" and I replied "they didn't do a very good job" and offered him a demo. The following week I brought in some equipment and resurfaced and refinished a few tiles and showed him the difference. He was shocked.

Point being sometimes people don't realize they have gotten a shit service or are using a shit product until they try something else.

I'm not saying there aren't future stackers on X. You can farm on most land, but some land is better for farming and some of that land is better for farming specific kinds of produce.

Fair point but I think conversion might be easier on X. People are very memetic on X.

That'd be an interesting experiment. Afaik most of kr's work showed other forums converted better. Regardless, we won't neglect anywhere intentionally.

Honestly, I need to make a more concerted effort on both X and Nostr with the Stacker Sports accounts I have created. I rarely post and engage. I have referred a couple people from those places but I could be doing a lot more. I think now that it is summer and it seems like of slow here on SN, I am going to spend some time trying on stacker acquisition.

Often times stackers will post links from other platforms like X, reddit, HN, youtube. It would be really cool if there was a way to automatically notify the original content creator that their content is being shared on SN. I know ek tried notifying HN users when his bot reposted their content on SN but with little success. Wondering if it would be effective on other platforms. A couple weeks ago I posted one of joenakamoto's youtube videos on SN and I DM'd him on nostr to let him know and that I had forwarded the post's sats to him. He replied thanking me and I noticed this week he posted another of his videos on SN. Small victory.

I am wondering if we can SN pill other content creators this way and if we can maybe they will become SN advocates to their followers on other platforms.
