I like it, but does it really need to be a separate site? Seems like it's splitting up an already small community. To me it makes more sense as a filter on GoatMatrix, like a toggle on the header.

Also, sorry for clogging up your site with news, politics and stuff. It's a big part of what I posted and discussed on Saidit. I posted music, art, self improvement, projects on Saidit (and post some here too) but it never seems to gain the traction that current events does.

Bro. You are literally the best poster. I don't apologize for playing favorites because I'm trying to push the site in a direction. And push it back toward a more tech direction than it had before the Saidit migration.

So it's not really a separate site. It's a portal to view the Matrix content through. Once I have everything done, you will be able to switch which party you are viewing without leaving the domain. But domains and sub-domains will set a default as their standard party.

This means I can actually get more users here more easily, because I can show tech folks, who are the people I want to draw here, a tech site instead of a politics site. Trying to get tech folks onto a politics site is an uphill battle.

But submatrix needs a little more poster diversity. It used to have more. But I think we've bled a lot of the more technical users, since the site became 100% news 100% of the time. Which means I didn't execute this plan fast enough.

The goal isn't to have Submatrix be a tech site and Goatmatrix be a news and politics site. The goal is to have both be a tech site. But Submatrix gets there immediately. Otherwise, if I wait to attempt subtle culture shaping alone, I'm losing ground faster than I can gain it. Goatmatrix has wave collapsed into a news and politics site despite very significant efforts to push it back to its original form.

It's a great place to go if you want to stop getting your mind jerked around by presstitutes.

Submatrix is an example of a 'party.' I'm still developing controls to make your own. I could use some folks to post more content to it. But it only accepts content that is higher up the pyramid of content. Submatix is basically an example of what a site looks like if everything is above the line on the pyramid of content.

Because parties use slege hammers for curation (necissary for it to be tech that can scale efficiently), for content to be on there it has to be by a user that posts >50% of their content above the line on the pyramid of content, and to a sub that is >50% above the line.

Since the Saidit migration, goatmatrix has become completely dominated by news, and so it's unfortunately a pretty small list. But I'd like to change that.

Examples of content that is above the line are more than I can list. But many examples would be philosophy, projects, tech resources, technology related news, events, education, culture, self improvement, humor that is actually funny, and anything that is classy.

Examples of things that are below the line for submatrix. News and politics, non-humor attempts humor (lazy dog wistles for being a POS as a replacement for thinking of an actual joke).

Submatrix is designed to be classy at any cost.
