'What does Giacomo want?' is what I'd ask.
afaict what giacomos want when their other needs are met: influence and entertainment.
Right now, SN mainly appeals to pseuds that like to reading, writing, and primordial communities/technology. We can't offer much reach and entertainment is more subjective.
Good question. I am shocked how so many bitcoin folks could care less about SN. and it does everything that was promised by LN micropayments at scale.
The 500 stackers here isn’t enough reach for folks.
IMO, it's not that deep: Stacker News is more like Reddit. Nostr is more like Twitter.
They don't post on Stacker News for the same reason(s) they don't post on Reddit (I assume, didn't verify).
They don't post on nostr because twitter is better at being twitter than nostr.
This is true but if you are so hardcore about the tech then nostr and SN should be your go to.
Then post on legacy social media sites.
That is my critique on some of these maxis.
Same with Darth who claims to be this super maxi and yet doesn’t use SN to its full potential.
He notes that he used bisq and robosats for no KYC which I commend but take it the next step further as well.
Idk. I think that Bitcoin maxis, LN maxis and microtransaction maxis are different beasts. Conflating these[1] will likely only lead to disappointment.
The main issue maximalist mindset (in any of the above 3 cases, and in general) invokes though is that it assumes that what is best for the maxi is best for everyone, indiscriminately. Reality says something different though, because there are no silver bullets: there are a plurality of niches among people and these can be served by different solutions. This means that there is space for SN, for LN, for Bitcoin. If there weren't, then there wouldn't be any of this.
Not to mention naziing around about
hYpOcRiTzand taking things to into some kind of holy war. ↩
great point!!
Well... you are that guy now. haha
Seriously though: I think we should ask: what is needed to get Giacomo here on SN? He's often quoted here and these posts often have a lot of traction.
