Low signal: re-posts, reactions

Possibility of higher signal: zaps, quotes, comments - things that cost some energy

Zaps are mostly replicating the same social media and parasocial dynamics of legacy social media (lol)

Those turn out to be inherent to humans and not merely an effect of algos.

The people you know, know more people than you do.

Yeah, mostly I'm just pushing against the idea that zaps are some sort of good 'signal' of something

They are, when I use them. 😂

I think the power users who zap are the ones uncovering signal. Not all zaps are equal. Could probably easily filter and measure only power-user zaps.
