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:
  1. don't want to reduce the concreteness
  2. 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.

I was on linkedin today and saw someone I know with their truncated bio of "Pioneering ______" and I puked in my mouth a little. I know I'm extra sensitive to this, but I don't think I'm wrong about how f'ing pat this stuff is.

"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"?
reply
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.

I can't easily ...
  1. visualize it
  2. verify it
And it's something that any bitcoin news site, of which there are many, can say.
It's just too abstract. No mental locking pins click when I read it.
reply
True. And SN has more than just bitcoin discussion.

More than just bitcoin discussion
That's a good tagline! 😃

Actually, yeah, it's not bad!

SN is not about bitcoin anymore...

yes, but like a bitcoin meetup, all of us are bitcoiners that discuss bitcoin and non-bitcoin things

I think we are overwhelmed by shitcoiners rn... and by shitcoiners I mean including fiat maxis.

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.

If I never visited SN before, I would have no idea what that meant.
oh great another product that's so full of shit, so bland they have to make up for it by spewing crap, that they can't even just say what the f they are in way that I understand

nothing makes me boil like vague copy
usually you can explain more by trying to explain less

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

imo community means so many things that it's practically meaningless.
reply
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

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"

Excellent! Just too long ... and referencing reddit will always require the rest of the tag to be a diff.

"Not reddit. Bitcoin included."
yeah I prefer "people" too

Bitcoin must be learned when is needed not when is wanted.
