Nostr Web Client

I’m not trying to control anyone. Part of the reason I’m not doing only zaps is that I don’t want to force people to pay me sats if all they want to do is acknowledge they agree with me or like my post. But that’s my belief, and I still think people should have control over how their own posts are interacted with.

If someone says something that offends me, I mute them, simple.

My understanding of ownership in this context is that you own all your data/events here, no one else owns it, that’s why you’re able to move from one client to another since all your data/events are just tied to your key pair. Since you own your data you should be able to say how others interact with it, which only zaps allows for.

I was with you until here “Since you own your data you should be able to say how others interact with it, which only zaps allows for. “

I disagree - you can control how you see their interactions with your notes, but you can’t control their interactions.

And it’s not really “owning” in the traditional sense. They have copies of it just like you do, it’s just proved that it came from you.

And if you don’t back up your posts, and relays don’t save them, you won’t take them anywhere because they don’t exist anymore.

Yeah, these are fair points. I suppose an argument can be made that if an interaction is an event, and, with my understanding of ownership, you own all your events, then not allowing likes is limiting someone’s ability to write an event. I guess if we don’t like it we can just go to a different client that doesn’t support onlyzaps.

All I know is that I’m keeping onlyzaps turned off on Damus.

Yeah I’m not sure what I’m going to do yet… at this point I’d like to support whatever helps Nostr grow the most
