Nostr needs a better way to handle likes/reactions. Nip 25 is a terribly inefficient way to do it. Burying reactions in the tags requires clients to do a huge amount of data gathering to properly show likes/reactions. Having an event kind/# that represents a tally of all likes for an event would be far more efficient, otherwise the client has to gather potentially thousands of events just to count up the likes for a note. I'll be creating a separate db table that mines and sums the reactions, but that creates a centralized solution rather than a decentralized one. Thoughts?
