But this only “hides” the likes. It doesn’t remove them. People can still “like” I just don’t see it The idea is to eliminate likes.
Also, I use like 3 clients at the same time. It makes no difference to just hide likes on one of them.
Discussion
I had it that way before and people lost their shit… they said it was taking away their freedom to like or something
LOL I believe you, people don’t know what they need until someone tells them
Ser, i cannot be smiling if others aren't seeing it!
Is there no way for me to choose if a reader can like my note or not? I’d like that option. It’s not the client removing the option to like; it’s me - the user - deciding. That’s freedom.
I agree and was surprised most people didn’t agree
you are restricting the reader’s freedom
what next, disable renoting, replies or quoting?
My choice.
You don’t get to choose what other people can do though. I get the argument. It’s not like you can stop people from liking anyway. It’s the same as we have now with mutes instead of blocking
If the client itself disables likes then yes that’s a restriction. But if a user decides to turn likes off or on for their own notes, surely that’s their choice. The reader can still reply, zap, etc.
this can only be done if you have auth and paid relays
#realy already doesn't send you shit that you muted, this seems like an elementary feature
not showing it to those you muted, that actually could be done too, it's the same thing (semisol doesn't think so but he is wrong) yes, i could easily extend it so if you mute someone your events don't get sent to users AUTHED to an npub you muted
all of it depends on authentication
why this is not grasped by the nostr establishment just shows how little brain they have
The client is restricting what events I can publish based off of someone else’s choice. The end.
The user can use a client that hides likes on their own note if they don’t want to see it. That is actual freedom of speech. Restricting what others can do with their own speech is not and physically impossible. There is no other correct answer.
to actually implement is a relay thing
Yeah, I don’t pretend to know how it all works so it’s interesting to read the replies here. Difficult to achieve I am assuming due to a lot of it being relay dependent too. A NOSTR client should, IMO, mainly offer options/choice for the user and not limit or restrict, but then I guess it’s all within a NIP framework that is interpreted in different ways by different devs/people. Either way, I’m just speaking from a user perspective. And I love seeing everything being debated and evolving.
Nah, do it! Same as removing the headphone jack on the iPhone: huge uproar, then "these airpods are actually kinda okay", then silence.
good point
It was the dumbest move ever. Then galaxy followed.
Airpods are so uncomfortable.
I use a USB c to headphone adapter, lol
Airpods are probably my favourite apple device of all time. I actually forgot about cables until this post reminded me 😅
Lol, I'd rather just use a Bluetooth speaker than airpods. They are the worst.
Good news is Nostr supports a zap-to-like adapter too. You do a zap with 1 Sat and put a heart emoji in as the zap message! I'll do one for you.
That's true, but I don't know why everything should be a zap. To me, a zap is only for something of note, high value, etc ...
The likes, boosts, laughs, whatever else are for low to medium value.
If nostr were zaps only, then the boosts, responses, replies, and all interactions would drop through the floor.
Most Nostr clients only show likes (as in the heart) and for me there really is no difference between a like and low-value zap. How does a zap of 21 sats signal anything different than a like?
So to avoid duplication you'd need to either get rid of low-value zaps (put up a min threshold) or get rid of likes. And getting rid of likes feels cleaner.
Yeah i am going to add that (zap notification threshold)
Liking something does not mean I assessed it monetary value. I may give my employee a high five for something they said or did, that does mean i am going to give them a bonus for said words or act.
I think I'd agree with this if the like and zap buttons were not next to each other. For me though the fact that the zap button and the like button are directly next to each other means every like must be seen in context of the fact that it's not a zap.
Because of that placement, dropping a like is basically saying 'not worth a zap'. Because if it was worth a zap you'd have hit the zap button 1cm to the left. It's not like saying "I might zap later", or "I haven't considered zapping yet". So it's assigning a 1 Sat value in a way, it's just that the1 Sat is implicit.
I do get though that it's stress trying to work out the amount of a normal zap, cause you have to worry about setting precedents, under or over valuing, etc. More needs to be done to standardise zap values to bring down that kind of stress.
Yes, that's correct. Most notes are not worth a zap. Some are.
