I hope someday reposts and zaps completely replace the need for “likes”/🤙🏼.

Reposts and zaps are true value exchange…and have a real cost: your reputation or money.

Likes are superficial and exist only to inform an algorithm.

Relevance algorithms have their place, but they are best informed by a truly costly action.

I think comments, reposts & zaps are fine. We can remove likes.

Or make likes minizaps ~5 sats or something small

I agree! But now, I can’t like your post.

Yes, replies and comments also have cost: reputational.

reptutation is really what matters anyway. we're not here to make eachother rich with micro payments.

how do I like on nostr? bitcoin.

adoption go up technology 🤙🏽

Please do. People will be more inclined to zap if there is no like. Lightning will explode.

I’d either remove likes, or leave them as they are but with a fixed/default 21 sat zap.

I think I’d prefer personally to remove them in favour of just having the ⚡️ zap.

I think that a quick way to confirm and approve a *reply* without adding another "agree/ok/got it" reply can be useful to clean up the discussions.

So we could reposition the like as a generic "ok". I think that today it is often already used with this meaning.

I like likes.
