Those Leaderboard times. Do you think it still happening?
That's true, not everyone can say what they want where they want, like it happens here. Censorship free platform is a great value to add to the list. I'm glad you made it until here, look's like you are doing great. Keep it up!
Everyone has a lot to share everywhere. Question yourself why people come around here in the first place. It is probably not one of the reasons you mentioned.
You are right, territories expanded a bit the kind of conversations we are having here. That's why I started ~Design. The whole thing probably just need more time.
Would something like this be good or bad for SN?
That's what people are used to... upvote, downvote
I agree, it's revolutionary! I still everyday more convinced that the whole reward system should be less explicit and not showcased as a selling point or an onboarding feature.
Considering we want to reach the world (and have HN, Reddit, LessWrong and others considering SN a competitor) the entry barriers that SN has currently in place for new users are really high. One need to know what a LN wallet is (if custodial or non-custodial... that give head hakes to many probably), understand bitcoin (because that's what we mostly talk about around here).
Good question, k00b mentioned some competitors #948499 never joined LessWrong, nor Delving (I'm unable to find).
How do you differentiate SN from competitors though, if not through the incentive system?
Good question, by default I go for exclusion, so if the reward system is something that is attracting mostly assmilkers and friends trying to get rich quick, I'll try to avoid talking about it to onboard new people.
SN offers a simple tool that enable to create posts. They can be used to post anything, from essays to poems, from news to blog posts. The contest make the difference. They could be used to create and maintain a photographer or designer portfolio for example.
The key for noncoiners to join and receive some "credit-to-be-able-to-post" later is the bio. A good intro in the community means opening the door to be listened. Many users I invite, get this wrong, just create the account, lurk around for a bit and when they realize they aren't able to post without getting credits, they leave.
From my perspective, all the reward system should be put on the side, I'm not saying it should be removed, just that it could be less explicit or hidden somehow. The fact that we don't have a leaderboard is a great sign, this does not mean that users aren't ranked anymore internally. Hopefully we can rename the word "sats" ad find something else to use within SN. Cowboy Credits is fun, but where there's credit, there's also debt. BitcoinTalk use merits as trust system. YT use views and number of subscribers. LessWrong, HN and Reddit use votes.
Obviously these are just ideas, happy to hear your thoughts on it.
