This will probably cost me some followers, but I’ll still express myself. 🐢🐾🫑

My biggest beef with people on the internet, is that a lot of them feel entitled to other’s time!

When people are trying to solve a problem and ask questions, and you go and perform a research on their behalf to provide answer, which ends up being β€œliked”(one second of their time) - doesn’t seem to add up. What motivation do you have next time? Was it hard for them to at least reply with simple thank you? Forget zaps, that’s not very important. It more about showing some level of appreciation to acknowledge work done.

Agree.

Yaaaa for sure, mate. That’s a #zap worthy note. Gratitude goes a long way.

Just saying thank you or saying that it helped or not is even better! Time is not free and very finite! πŸΆπŸΎπŸ«‘πŸ«‚

I don’t think this should cost you followers πŸ«‚ I find exactly the same thing sometimes when I’ve spent time trying to help someone or write a constructive comment and it either just gets liked or no feedback at all. It does depend on the exact context, and I know people don’t always have time to write a detailed response, but I think a bit of gratitude with a simple thank you goes a long way if it obvious that someone has made an effort.

I don’t think people realize the effort it takes. Even the things I know today and can share with no research, came at a cost of time and stress to me. I chose to share them for free for betterment of everyone. Small gratitude shouldn’t be a hard thing to do. 🐢🐾🫑

πŸ’― Knowledge takes time and effort to acquire and it takes time to write a comment in a clear and concise way to share that knowledge with another person. I still do find #nostr a lot better than most other places though. Most people do seem pretty appreciative and at least you don’t generally get attacked if you say something that is wrong or others disagree with!

What if the time and effort you put in helps future understanding and innovation at a faster pace so they can pass along the distilled information to others?

It’s all about the feedback loop. If something is not encourages, it’ll die off. 🐢🐾🫑

Nostr is magnitudes better, that’s why I used β€œinternet” in the note. 🐢🐾🫑

πŸ€™

Agreed. πŸ€™

Next time send them to the chat bot so they can waste GPU cycles instead of your time.

Even that takes time and experience! Not many know how to use it! πŸΆπŸΎπŸ˜‚πŸ«‚

We have to ask ourselves what is within our control. I choose to do what I do because it's part of my character, not because I expect something.

Much love #[1]

True, as well! Feedback or lake thereof will shape how we evolve and behave! 🐢🐾🫑

Yes, imagine what that person thinks of the environment that interacts versus ignores. Appreciation may not be shown, but it may plant a seed.

You helping others is part of who you are, and while being ignored for it may be dispreffered, it shouldn't change you if you know it's the right thing to do.

πŸ’œπŸ«‚πŸ§‘

True again. Doesn’t change me, but changes where and how I do it. Lack of any feedback is worse then negative feedback! That’s why twitter is dying. 🐢🐾🫑

I usually try to make an effort to respond to everyone. Sometimes I don't see people's replies though due to bugs or issues with the nostr clients (I think?). But yeah, makes things more human when you get more than just a like, but then it gets to a point where I don't know when to stop responding, and I get self-conscious.. like I am currently feeling as this reply gets longer and longer.. I begin wondering if I'm just talking to hear myself talking.. 😢

I hear you! We some how forgot how to end the conversation! Dialogs can be hard, so we need to relearn to do it right again! Thanks for reply! (This is one way to end it πŸ˜‚) 🐢🐾🫑

No problem! :)
