I think it will grow, but we have to be careful to let in the right people. If we get a huge influx of low quality people, it will end up like reddit.

Social platforms like this have a particular culture. The SN culture is hard to describe, but it's deeply embedded.

I think SN can grow much larger and retain its culture if this doesn't happen too fast. The culture will probably improve in a way because given the small pool of active participants here the viewpoints can be a bit narrow sometimes, at least easy to dominate a topic by a few people. More stackers would hopefully strengthen/diversify the dialogue and ideas.

I agree if there was some tipping point that opened the floodgates and the user base 10x'd overnight, it could become a very different place.

I think the strongest part of the culture is the anti shitcoin sentiment, we gotta keep that 😄

I do agree with that. That should be for the whole world really. Everyone gets humbled eventually.

Yes, its important that SN retains its values. Or it could disappear overnight. Stay humble and stack sats.

Won't the incentives work this out naturally. What is it we need to do to keep certain people out?

Incentives have a way of bringing the wrong type of people. Can you imagine what it would be like if a certain population of people come to SN and monopolize the space?

I don't know. If they aren't bringing value, they won't get sats to be here, right? I would love to see a huge inflow of users. I can't really see the issue. What do you mean by monopolize the space? What is the solution to preventing this in your view?

Just imagine this. A certain type of person, and there are 100s or 1000s of them. All they do is circle jerk each other.

I'm not a fan of circle jerks. I want to stacker be as diverse as possible.

Im worried that is what will happen. A big enough group could come in and do that, since SN is so small.

I feel it is maybe more of an echo chamber now than it will be later. Either way, I trust it will work itself out. We have zaps and downzaps. I suppose we will see.

There are a lot of like minded people here. I wont say hardcore bitcoiners, but people that actually know and use it. In the future, there will be more noobs.

That's true! some people from Reddit can really destroy SN because they have the attitude of 'I am always right!', 'I don't give a shit', etc. They'll probably create shitcoin territories too lol
