I was thinking instead of watching your number of follows go up, you watch your post to comment ratio, or the number of people you have interacted with lately go up. People like a number. Give them a number that's less shitty.

I'm honestly kinda tired of this thread 😅 it just ended up as an argument over the definition of words and how I shouldn't use the term gamification because they don't like that word. I'll just never post questions to start debate again and stick to my memes, problem solved 😂

I don't like that either! To the ban-gulag!

I'll stop 😅🫂 I appreciate the question. I like stuff that makes me think.

but seriously - "we do not walk around with a number on our forehead in meatspace, nor should we in cyberspace"

any metrics are just numbers to hit for influencers. You can of course make metrics for any number of reasons, but true social capital is earned by just participating and seeing who you vibe with. Nostr lets anyone experiment around with whatever persona they want with minimal risk, and that's why it'll encourage others to be themselves without artificially encouraging any behavior.

Or to really answer the heart of your question:

"how can Nostr do the same with the best parts and encourage community, communication, and connection?"

"Be excellent to each other"

quik, everyone pile on this thread or ryan and his hoard of others will make us want more pizzas 😂
