You should always sort by new! Hot is for noobs :D
I wouldn't mind there being some kind of mod account for sticky announcements if that's a fairer situation. But that also brings complications; you've noticed, perhaps, that not many subreddits do that, for example... Some stickies do need to be left up for a while, for informative purposes or voting.
If you're thinking like how they always have fresh stickies on the donald, they also have about 20 new posts a minute there, and loads of mods, so there's plenty to choose from and mods to do it. I find it a tad frantic, TBH.
That community stemmed from a highly active one that was banned entirely from reddit, and brought everything here instead. We're different in that the subreddit we emerged from still exists, although the quality has greatly declined. But many users have not migrated here yet, or at all, or split their time.
I'm all for poaching the decent and original posts from r/con though, and resubmitting them here - crowd-sourcing content like that could boost this place a bit. But posted as fresh submissions here, not just as links to reddit, which is lame.
