The Stacker News model is pretty darn good.
SN brings together already orange-pilled netizens and sharing thoughts and information. It uses sats to incentivize good work and doesn't need a central body. Pretty great stuff.
@k00b and crew has the FOSS code up to it's github repository. Users can check it out, suggest, add, debug it etc, etc. Naturally, with FOSS, the code can also be cloned, changed and adopted by others so that a Spanish, Hindi, Portuguese version for HODLers who can't properly enjoy the English version, can (if desired) create a seperate community.
Could the SN template be used for communities other than HODLers?
The above examples could be viable - that's a given. However, could it be possible for the template to work outside of the ₿itcoin community and still work?
What pitfalls and problems might these communities encounter?
The model is perfect ground for this community, we are orange-pilled and the job boards from ₿itcoin-friendly employers distribute more sats to the circular economy - but could it successfully work for Artists, Community Newspapers, Gamers, etc?
A p̶̶e̶̶n̶̶n̶̶y̶ sat for your thoughts?
