We have an opportunity to build our own corner of the
onchain internet. With awesome people, links, resources, and
learning. To ensure this corner is valuable, we need to
follow some submission guidelines.
What to submit?
On topic:
Anything that gratifies the intellectual curiosities of
builders, engineers, hackers, and craftspeople in the
community.
That includes:
Technical resources, hacking, and awesome git repos
Dune dashboards, reports, data-driven articles
Startups, cryptocurrencies, cryptography
Networking, privacy, decentralization
Hardware, open source, art, economics, game theory
Anything else our community might find fascinating,
covering any subject from philosophy, literature, and pop
culture, through science, and health, up to society and
infrastructure
Off topic:
Sensationalist journalism for the sake of ad revenue
(including overly optimized click-bait, rage-bait, fluff
headlines, clickthrough optimized headlines, cliffhanger
headlines, posts with no substance)
Mediocre resources
Old stories we all read and that have been widely shared
elsewhere
Shilling (you know what this means)
How to submit?
A good headline tells you exactly what to expect without
embellishing or optimizing for clickthrough. Some
recommendations:
Attempt to submit the original title
Trim the title if it's too long without losing substance
Avoid Title Casing Because It Looks Like Spam (and it's
terrible to read)
Avoid Upworthy and Buzzfeed style titles along the lines
of, "Fiat Crisis with Balaji (shocking!)" - there's no
need to add the last part
Consider NOT submitting pay-walled articles
How to upvote?
Within a small community, upvoting carries a lot of weight.
The recommendation here is to carefully consider what's
worth upvoting and what isn't. Avoid upvoting things you
haven't read, watched, or vetted as worthy of other people's
time.
Thanks to @thatalexpalmer who helped us prepare these guidelines.
