I appreciate the zaps very much but I am having a hard time understanding the culture of when a post is zap worthy. Is there an unwritten rule? Is it like tipping IRL? Is there a flow chart? 😅

I feel like it's, do I want to support the creation of more content like this. if yes #zap

This is more where my mind goes.

I zap ⚡️ all sorts of things, funny memes, articles I find interesting or just a simple zap ⚡️ with a good morning , all around 21.

I’ll then zap bigger for supporting devs, art, meet ups etc , anything from 2100 - 100000

It’s really up to you. I’m unaware of any rules 💜🫂☕️

I love the generosity. I’m not sure I could personally sustain this.

That’s the great thing about them. You choose who when and how many. All ⚡️ are appreciated and awesome, we’re building a circular economy one sat at a time 💜🫂

It’s really awesome!

Did you enjoy it, did it make you laugh, was it insightful, interesting? That's what I zap.

I agree but with so much great content, my “should I zap” decision tree generally always ends with: has this significantly helped me or changed my thought process in any way? YES: #zap

For sure, if it makes a difference, makes you feel, that's valuable.

Yes, absolutely!

I zap when I really like something, more than a simple “like”. Can be a note, a picture, an answer to a question!

This was my original thought on when I should zap but with the variety of good content, I feel as if there has to be something outstanding.

How do you define “outstanding” ? 😁

Definitely a subjective label, for me it has to provide some value towards mindset on how I view any particular subject. If it makes me think or challenges me and provides a clear thought, I think it’s worthy.

So, you get your answer! 💜

And that’s why #nostr ⚡️

I really don't use the like button much - pretty much if I like a post it gets zapped.

That’s awesome! I use them as a tiered system. Like for notes that are cool and interesting. Zaps for things that really make me think or challenge me and provide a clear argument.

I zap whenever I damn well please 🫡

No harm in that! 👍✌️

I sent you a zap, now you can either keep it or pay it forward or a combimation of the 2. Permissionless innit

Thank you! Much appreciated!
