265 sats \ 10 replies \ @Undisciplined 25 Jul \ on: Secret Sauce of SN’s Success meta
One of the more concerning comments I hear people make about what they like about Stacker News is "This is what _______ used to be like."
I think the secret sauce, assuming SN doesn't become a "used to be", is @k00b's obsession with making sure the mechanics of the site are serving us. Personally, I think he may have fixed social media.

I think it’s amazing how SN has allowed people to gain ownership of their territories
