I'd like to see more great answares. What values SN brings, why post here is better than HN (for example) or any other competitor in your business plan?
by the way, who do you consider a "competitor"? I know isn't nostr
I see other forums as "competitors": Reddit/HN/LessWrong/Delving/BitcoinTalk. Basically, places that share our format/style of social media and/or provide the same kinds of content/learning/connection.
Of course, I don't view all of these as competing with us, but I do think about their "systems" and why/how/if they attract people when we do not.
As public social media gets destroyed by AI bots, I suspect our "competitors" will will increasingly be apps that have great private group chats.

Funny enough, it feels like none of these other platforms get affected by AI bots, or maybe they do and have good moderation system and mods doing the hard work.
Browsing SN sometime I notice outlaw content and not sure why as been tagged that way.

When other platforms don't like stuff they delete it. When stackers don't like something, they pay to "downzap" it and get it marked as outlawed (which can be reversed by other stackers paying to "upzap" it). Outlawed items are still viewable to people with "wild west mode" on in their settings.
I haven't participated as much on HN, but here on SN you will find a greater diversity of topics, and you'll find people with more libertarian leanings and people who like bitcoin

I admire @ek's posts welcoming newbies. In the other side @DarthCoin kicking assmilkers out the @saloon main door and tagging shitcoiners bios with his knowledgeable meme force. I'm intrigued by these contrasts.
Does look to you SN is only for people that agree with these values and ideologies? Could a democrat, socialist or communist be welcomed here as libertarians and anarchists are?
