I had no idea SN was already discussing higher posting/comment fees two years ago. For the newer folks, it used to just be 1 sat to post anything.

Anita Posch Has Good News About Africa
Excerpt
It’s amazing to see how the Bitcoin adoption has been growing in African countries. There was only one initiative I knew of in 2020, when I visited Zimbabwe and Botswana. That was the Satoshicentre in Gaborone founded by Alakanani Itireleng. Together we organized a meetup at the university, where I held a Bitcoin talk. Now there are communities like the Bitcoin Cowries in Ghana, Bitcoin Dada in Kenya, Bitcoin for Fairness in Zambia, Bitcoin Ekasi and Bitcoin Ubuntu in South Africa and the new Bitcoin Innovation Hub in Uganda. In the next few years we’ll see tremendous growth. Exciting!

I think raising posting/comment fees to reduce bad content is reasonable. 10 sats seems like a good starting point.
A cool side-effect is that by raising posting and comment fees, Stacker News will also have far more sats to give back to the best us […]
