55 sats \ 7 replies \ @Undisciplined 22 Jul \ on: how do you describe SN to people? AskSN
I relate it to Reddit, but without the censorship.
"You shitpost for zaps... Like, I write stuff and share links etc, and people just send me small amounts of bitcoin, like... for fun. And there's no moderator or money laundering expert standing in our way."
reply
I think that's great...for people who like bitcoin and shitposting. Most people probably find both pretty off-putting though.
reply
they have no idea what they're missing out on!

I thought you were going to say that being off-putting is a feature not a bug.
reply
i like that because it can segue into both an important discussion about censorship and zapping, and it's easy to grasp quickly.
i heard someone else say it before, but there's something somewhat off-putting about describing one company by comparing it to another one.
reply
You may also have heard me say that. There’s a difference between interpersonal communication and branding, though.
If the person I’m talking to already gets bitcoin, then I’ll certainly bring that up. Otherwise, I think of bitcoin as part of why Stacker News works, rather than what Stacker News is.

i like the way you phrased that
Edit: saying SN is awesome "because bitcoin," doesnt really capture its essence
