Reddit just rugged all of their /r/Cryptocurrency users, announcing the deprecation of Moons.
Moons were a Shitcoin than ran on Ethereum. But, Moons were a way for Reddit to test value for value. Moons were handed out to users that created content and Moons were also tipped to Redditors in a similar fashion to how we use Zaps.
Many users were excited by Kraken announcing support for Moons earlier this year. People were buying Moons, trading Moons, and even selling Moons. And then the whales dumped on the them. Hard.
Most users are very pissed off right now.
I see an opportunity for Nostr.
I see opportunity for Redditors to jump ship and come over to Nostr's Moderated Communities. Communities are supported in several popular clients or even dedicated clients. Communities need a lot more work to be fully enticing, but the groundwork is there.
Maybe we should plant a seed there with some comments/posts?
I personally would gladly use a Reddit-like client made on #nostr .
Go look in that sub for a recent post 👀
Hmm…I don’t see any interesting post regarding nostr on Reddit. Or maybe I’m just blind?
Rebuilding Reddit seems like the most important use case of Nostr
Replace upvotes with upzaps and you get a truly free market evaluation of answers to your question
I don't see how our communities here couldn't be the killer use case for every Redditor.
Does anyone know any of the mods to reach out to them?
I do not.
A rumor is going around though that someone just posted about Nostr and Zaps in that sub. Go look for it.
ok, so that’s why I’m seeing Kraken ads on r/linux
haven’t been on that site in years
I had a decent little stack of moons back in the day.
I remember first learning about them and thinking I could make it rich if I just had the right comments. Lol
Thanks for the context. Saw bits about it but didn’t have a clue. My brother is a big Redditor so I’ll be sure to bring up “The” Nostr again to him
Reddit hit its Tipping Point, in a bad way, hard with Moons shitcoin. #Nostr will explode soon.
