22 sats \ 5 replies \ @k00b OP 14 Apr 2022 \ on: Ask SN: how do you feel about a miscellaneous sub? bitcoin
I'm not saying I'm certainly going to do this, just considering it. On the other hand, we are growing now and we might be fixing something that isn't broke.
That's my view @ fixing something that ain't broke.
I come to SN on a daily basis for Bitcoin news and comments. There are lots of other places where I can get non-bitcoin content.
The only marginal benefit I could see is having a source for "non-bitcoin content that other Bitcoiners like", as there might be a lot of overlap there.
If anything one could have L1 vs L2 subs, a mining sub, a markets sub (trading, exchanges, etc), maybe a privacy sub, etc
Actually I could think of one more - a random/OT sub could test value-for-value in a broader market, in a certain sense. But that doesn't really benefit me in any direct way.

It seems many bitcoiners might want to discuss other topics with like-minded bitcoiners. SN is reddit but much much better. Why not eat reddit? Would certainly increase the TAM for SN if that's part of the vision.
Using lightning to upvote for non-bitcoin related content certainly needs to happen somewhere...

"eat reddit" can certainly be a long-term goal, however one would probably want to take it in chunks, and start with "eat r/bitcoin", and then "eat r/bitcoin and some adjacent subs" and then "eat reddit"

Yep, my feelings.

I agree, only I suspect there isn't enough of this sort of Bitcoin-related news to break it up yet.
a random/OT sub could test value-for-value in a broader market, in a certain sense.
I don't think we need to do that yet. Even with an OT sub it would probably still mostly be bitcoiners in there.

I think it's a great idea, I thinking if something can be better and grow it's broken. In that sense, Stacker news IS broken. It's not what it could be. "Stable growth" is an oxymoron. Embrace volatility, but respond to errors quickly.
Turn on the ~misc, then turn it off if it seems like something has gotten out of hand.
