new trial tagline: "24/7 bitcoin meetup on a website"
the goal is something that makes immediate sense to outsiders even if it's insufficient for us insiders.
I like the direction but it's a bit meh
How about "The never ending bitcoin meetup" or "On demand bitcoin meetup"?

"1000 songs in your pocket" vs "the never ending music player" vs "on demand music"
When we think of copy, we tend to think fantastical is better because of how we feel when we use fantastical words, but literal/concrete (and, yes, ideally profound) makes easier sense and an easier sell.
I'll give you that the tagline is literal in a boring way, but if we want to make it more interesting we:
- don't want to reduce the concreteness
- we want to use words that we would in normal conversation
We want to make the truth interesting without having to use words that we'd categorize as interesting by themselves.

"1000 autists in your pocket"

I like "1000 songs in your pocket" because it's short, intriguing, and tangible.
I was trying to think of how to word a pitch that made SN sound like an all-night diner or all-you-can-eat buffet but I didn't come up with anything.
I don't like the "on a website" part because I don't think people prefer that (or want to prefer that) to IRL, so you're planting a dig in your own pitch. Just "24/7 bitcoin meetup" is better.

what's wrong with "The Frontpage of Bitcoin"?

I like this one, it feels authentic in a very SN fashion. Spinning off Reddit's tagline has always felt tad hokey to me. Just my two sats.

True. And SN has more than just bitcoin discussion.

More than just bitcoin discussion
That's a good tagline! 😃
reply
Actually, yeah, it's not bad!

SN is not about bitcoin anymore...
24/7 bitcoin meetup on a website
bland...
How about "Enlightning communities with value"
or "Enlightning people with value"
no, Enlightening is not misspelt... it clearly refers to LN, but for normies it may read misspell. It just adds some human touch. Keep it generic, community is definitely a value in SN. Used value at the end instead of bitcoin because that's what's given around here by users. And is given with words (knowledge) first, and with sats (that's just a detail).
If not defined anywhere yet, I highly suggest you guys take some time with the team to run a strategy workshop for defining Vision, Mission, ad future objectives for SN.

we know where we are going

How about "The Most Based Community on the Interwebz"
I definitely like putting the word community in the tagline!

i'd argue that it only has one usual meaning, which is a group of people who share something in common
not sure if it has other meanings besides that
reply
fair, but it's used to describe too many things. it doesn't really tell me anything except that there are based people peopling on the internet. it's helped by "most" but that's super unverifiable.
free your mind of ever having heard of SN. what would you need to hear - from someone you do not trust at all - to best understand what SN is and as fast as possible.

"Reddit, but without stick-up-their-butt moderators, and where not every post is a stupid meme followed by 100 people (or bots) repeating the same stupid meme. Oh, and you earn bitcoin tips instead of upvotes"
Bitcoin must be learned when is needed not when is wanted.
