Nostr

Combine the like and and boost buttons. Think about what it means and how Twitter utilizes it. A like means the algorithm shows the tweet to more people. I think we only need like, quote, and Zaps.

Make the like button do what the boost does but combine the like/boosts in the feed so it only shows the latest one rather than tons of them when the note gets lots of them.

Simpler and better, imo.

Only issue is that some people use the like button as an ack.

I agree, but does it matter? It still acts as that, but lots of acknowledgements mean that it's of greater interest and will probably be of interest to even more people.

Ah, you're thinking about the comments? I was only considering the feed. Hmm.

I suppose my answer still holds, but within the comments rather than the feed. Not as easy though.

I think it matters.

I use the like as an acknowledgement & agreement. I will not like something that I would rather have not seen.

I use the zap to signal that i derived some value from the note.

A like is an Event in Nostr, in the same way a note is. It is me expressing my agreement without having to type it out.

If you want to abandon likes (not see them or use them), you can always use snort.social
