@mallardshead @Dez @sha256 Where are you guys? All new Stackers actually need to listen more from you. So much knowledge in those posts!
I'm not sure if I even interacted with @sha256. That OG bailed early.
I read a lot of posts from Stackers who I never had a chance to interact. What happened to them? I mean SN is such a great place to be. How could they resist to share their views with us.
It was really different when I joined than it is today. I'm sure some people don't like the ways that it has changed.
I would like to know more on how it was. I wasn't there.
It was completely bitcoin focused and I recall many people objecting to the idea that we broaden out the topics of posts. They were basically arguing that "Stacker News" implied news about Bitcoin, while we were arguing that "Stacker News" meant news for Bitcoiners.
There was still a lot of thoughtful discussion, but not as much as there is now (although there may have been more prior to Million Sat Madness). There were probably more regulars with deep technical Bitcoin knowledge.
The new 'Stacker News' doesn't imply 'Bitcoin News' or does it? I'm sure it implies 'News for Bitcoiners' more.
I also think that SN as 'News for Bitcoiners' will be more impactful overall.
So, tou think the OGs left because SN has changed to 'News for Bitcoiners'?
I'm sure there are other reasons, but there was a sizeable contingent that wanted it to stay bitcoin only.
Wow, @Alby in 2021. They’ve been, and still, shipping!
