"like" is the most deceptive form of communication ever, zaps are 100x better, but what if "like" meant keeping a backup of your message as well?

Is it possible to impl in nostr? I'm guessing yes, the question is, has anyone thought of this before?

I think this was also the initial idea with likes on Twitter. They were supposed to be personal "bookmarks", not public numbers, but something got lost in translation. I think I read something from nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m about this at some point.

I use likes as a “i read this” flag

I do use like half the time to bookmark it and other times because I just like it and no other reasons to it

I think there's value in both public and private bookmarks. Likes are similar to public bookmarks. Displaying the count is a separate issue.
