I I do like seeing Likes and it does feel a lot smoother. Maybe you can merge some code back over to Astral? That's the whole point of open source software! We all rise together.

well likes is mroe of a design decision... but we'll see how long I can hold out. personally would prefer to just go to paid likes but don't know timeline on that.

but yes, I like some of the design decisions and am interested to see how they handle relay data. oss ftw!

I use Astral on my desktop and Snort on my phone. when on my phone, I really like seeing and using likes. It's a nice metric that people see my notes and appreciate them. I like the whole thought of 1 sat = 1 like, but maybe there's a middle ground while you work on that feature.

Noooo... no likes on Astral, please  🙏

Likes will ruin conversations and if anyone like what they see or read, there's a tip option or awesome invoices

good to know that there are others who agree with my omission of likes!

I agree too! Likes are cheap bullshit! They are a productive of these pavlovian social network platforms that try to get you addicted and turn everybody into slaves.

thank you for saying the thing I really wanted to say but am too timid to say

💯

A like is a nice quick and easy acknowledgement. It's quicker than saying +1, ^, or something else, creating dozens of low effort posts, when all I want to do is say I agree or like what you said.

I tend to like that too. You can always just rip a +1 as well.
