Even the argument that it is important for discovery of “like minded” (pun maybe intended) people to follow is a stretch. The author of the note should be able to determine how they want to engage and be able to be transparent about not wanting the likes.
Discussion
The argument that was given that I had a hard time refuting was: if we don’t do it for blocks (muting instead) why do it for likes? OnlyZaps was like blocking for likes. I do want to remain somewhat logically consistent in the way I apply these types of restrictions.
Is blocks implementable on #nostr?
Say you have client A that implements blocking, and client B that doesn’t.
Have any clients implemented blocking not just by name (not muting)?
