650 sats \ 2 replies \ @mudbloodvonfrei 29 May 2023 \ on: Long Form Content On Stacker News bitcoin
I'm a fan of the POSSE paradigm - Publish [on your] Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere. Not everyone has the time/desire/technical skills to self-host a site, but it is the content equivalent of self-custody in bitcoin. Realistically, not everyone will, but holding it up as an ideal has a lot of benefits even for those who choose not to.
That being said, from the few days I've been on SN it seems like a small and cozy community so it makes sense to post long-form content here, but as it expands that may change.

You raise excellent points. I know that's the popular path, and it has worked for lots of people for many years.
I just think that legacy methods like traditional web pages, substack, medium, etc are not bitcoin native and will quickly become obsolete. Maybe nostr is the answer? I feel it's not usable for long form content yet either.

I actually haven't played with nostr yet although I'd like to. From what I understand it's just a protocol, no? How you display the data is a matter of client design. If you're relying on someone else's node then there isn't much difference between nostr and SN. If you run a node, then you're back to POSSE.
