I think the most realistic one is a rapid influx of low quality stackers (could be woke, but could be something else).
A flood of obnoxious comments might drive away our thoughtful writers and whatever content gets elevated would be garbage.

when the Eternal September arrives, we will probably need citadels on SN

What would that look like?

invite-only territories

That clearly has a role, but wouldn't a first step be a mechanism to ban people from territories?

Mhhh, yes, that would be a lower hanging fruit.
But bans would be completely new territory for us (pun intended).
reply
Maybe the real first step would just be customized posting fees that owners can set for individual stackers.

low quality stickers This. The LQS crowd takes over and spews litter, territories raise sat rates to post to the point where no rational stacker wants to post (it's called Stacker News, not Spender News).

I agree! You know there are people who ask openly "how much you HODL?👀"

But what do you mean by low quality? On what basis or filter can a comment or post be classified?
reply
It's in the eye of the beholder, but most of us feel like SN posts and comments are higher quality and that stackers are more thoughtful than what you generally find on the internet.
reply
It is certainly true, but we have all learned things from the Internet, right? Or have you learned everything from books? That is because SN gives us the opportunity to see different content and different comments, which helps us to have different types of points of view, right? And that makes this platform pluralistic and tolerant of all types of comments.
reply
No, we have downzapping specifically to deal with low quality content. Being pluralistic in no way implies being accepting of everything.
This is a value-for-value platform, which means comments and posts should be providing value to someone here.
reply
We totally agree on that, sorry if I misunderstood you.

Thanks for sharing your opinion!
