I understand, mostly. One thing I did not expect was people reacting fairly strongly to not being able to send the like. If I do not wish to see it, why should you get to send it. It’s an extra note going to relays and I have decided I want to remove that from my footprint.

Of course, I am trying all this with Onlyzaps off 🤷‍♂️

Because the reaction ("like") isn't just for you (the note author). The reaction is also for the creator, to be able to go back and see the things they've liked in the past. The reactions may also be aggregated to provide signal to other observers.

Currently, "+" and "🤙" are far and away the most popular reactions, but they're not the only ones. Here are some others that my node has seen in the last couple of days (with counts, to show relative frequency):

["+",259104]

["🤙",141352]

["⚠️",1720]

["😆",911]

["🖖",504]

["❤️",433]

Very good approach! I like the way you look at it.

The likes are for oneself too, of course! I feel that we have taken a wrong step, there is nothing wrong with that, but our responsibility (in my opinion) is to make self-criticism and evaluate if this change makes sense or not.

My point is the following, have we had the opportunity to give this opinion before? Maybe yes, but I updated yesterday in a routine way and all of a sudden I saw something very disruptive.

Was this discussed somewhere before? I don’t know 🤷‍♂️
