I think we should focus on quality people instead of just a mass of people.

I think you can strike a balance between quality and quantity in the way and places you market. We would have to be targeted anyways as we don't have infinite sats to spend on a mass marketing campaign.

I guess that is true. Im just not a fan of inviting more assmilkers than there already are.
reply
That's my view too, but there are definitely quality people out there who haven't found their way to our little western utopia yet.
A concerted effort to draw in those folks might be worthwhile.
Another thought is that we could try to draw some of the folks who used to be active stackers back to the site. There are easily a dozen great former contributors who have wandered off.
reply
They have wandered off for a reason. Sometimes life gets busy. Eventually when they are ready, they will come back. We will all burn out eventually, its just a matter of time. How we deal with it is the important thing.
reply
Sure, but maybe some of them would enjoy what the site has become and they just haven't checked it out in awhile.

It is hard to get them back. I have tried on nostr with a couple older stackers that were featured in this day on SN. k00b did mention that some old stackers are still around but under different accounts now.
reply
Everyone has their own pace. Some might have outgrown SN.
reply
How would we message them? Even if we message with their stacker news address, if they arent checking it, it doesnt matter. That is the achilles heel of everyone having a nym and not knowing who people are.
reply
I'm thinking about people who you might interact with on nostr or have some other contact for.
I also don't want to flood SN with people, so these should be highly selected targets.
reply
I dont even use nostr yet. I am just enjoying my time on SN.
reply
Honestly, you're not missing much. There are a few people there who would make nice stackers, though.
reply
I know there are some big stackers and influencers on there. I just dont know how to interact with them. If they are on here, I can interact with them. I dont want to be riding on anyones coattails.
I'm with you. I'm not opposed to a drive but also think it should be focused on people that fit with the community. Those that don't won't last anyway so what's the point?
