Have the incentives to show up to chat changed, lately?

it started with all the anon spam

Whatever territory the @saloon lives in should raise it's reply fee.

reply

I don't agree. I don't think raising the fees is gonna raise engagement in the comments. The reason why @k00b is concerned about the memes in the @saloon is because there were MORE memes than the real discussion. Had there been equal number of discursive but original comments, he wouldn't have bothered.

reply

The point of raising the fee is to reduce spam. The idea is that spam drove people from the saloon.

You're completely right that removing the spam won't necessarily bring people back, but it will fix the problem.

reply

Did spam drive people from the saloon? When I go there I just skip over anything that looks like obvious spam. I still respond and will post occassionally.

reply

Absolutely. I do the same. The real problem is decreasing engagement not the memes.

10 sats \ 1 reply \ @Car 1 Jun 2025

Ya for sure encouraging high quality conversation not Meme Monday everyday in the saloon

reply

But memes aren't spam. If anyone doesn't like them can skip. It's not correct to blame memes for lowered engagement in the saloon.

It stopped people from sharing what ek said,

people would actually talk about their life and be original

We use to have coach come in everyday leave an inspirational speech, 🐌 post, all sorts of things.

Not saying it’s all anon fault but it played a small part for sure.

reply

Saloon is also high on the front page so anyone can post anything in there and get seen. Surprising we haven’t seen more spam.

reply

Memes aren't spam. I too post memes, even today I posted 3 in the saloon, they were all worth sharing.

The real problem is why the regulars are quitting, not that some are posting memes. Why would you fix something that isn't a problem at all. There are newbies who are posting some memes and they are just spending 1 sat for 1. Is that a problem? I say it again the real problem is Saloon not making number of comments as it used to.

reply

It’s in no territory

But I hear you, maybe we should increase saloon replies to 10 sats

reply

On what sort of realm does the saloon exist?

reply
31 sats \ 1 reply \ @ek 1 Jun 2025

In the realm that creates a lot of bugs because it’s the only item with no territory afaik

But we want to have a saloon for each territory anyway so meme shitposters could shitpost in the ~Memes saloon

But maybe it’s too early for that

reply
meme shitposters

Oh comeon!!

It's BS btw. Are you saying all memes are shit and those who post them are shitposters?

reply

Let me control how much I should charge anon to reply to me. That way it would control spam and kick back to the stackers.

reply

Why don’t you raise the fees only for making anon posts? Perhaps that would discourage some of the spam.

reply

But where's anon now?

reply

Can’t anon be anybody at any time?

reply

Yes anybody can.

But many times they have just been masquerades to attack on others. And especially those who can fling 10x sats without bothering.
