In a world inundated with terse IG and TikTok posts, I’m glad that we’re going the other way here. I have always been pleasantly surprised at the length of both posts and comments - Stackers really take their time to expound on a point and provide anecdotes. I think that’s the greatest strength of this sub. No other platforms I use have this characteristic.

It’s a competitive advantage that we should protect and nurture! I believe dividing long prose into chunks could work for listicles. I could see myself providing a TL;DR version in the main text and elaborating on each point in the form of individual paragraphs in the comments. I would be interested to explore the time continuum in my writing (past - present - future). Eg. What brought me to Stacker News, what keeps me coming here, and how do I intend to grow on Stacker News?
