Thanks for this great post. For me, almost exactly two years ago I was on bitcoin reddit, which I really didn't like. Someone mentioned Stacker News and included a link. I checked it out and was hooked almost immediately.
Similar story for me. Iā€™m pretty sure someone mentioned it on Bitcoin Reddit. I remember the LN tips bot on Reddit and thinking, wow, people can tip you sats for Reddit comments, how cool! šŸ˜Ž

It's utopian to think that there is a place where you can have a conversation and earn sats šŸ˜Ž

And we've never crossed paths there?!

wow you have been here for quite some time, it's hard not to get hooked on SN, the creators are geniuses. I had read that before they only talked about bitcoin, but then the possibility of having more territories opened up, it is great because there are many topics of conversation that are really important for life, such as politics, economics, general culture, natural sciences. Even better is being able to read about these topics based on real facts.

Yes, things have changed. I don't think there were any subs when I started, then for a long time there was just bitcoin, nostr, and tech. In the late fall of '23 stackers were allowed to create and own subs.

Everything is really very new. I guess that also helped that there were more stackers. SN still has a lot of life left, I believe in this project
