You’ve been trained to want “likes.” We all have.

Have a like 😛

Yep

Liked, shared and zapped.

I’m still a fan of likes tbh, especially 🤙

How did you get the ⭐️ next to your #onlyzaps?

You get the star when you choose the 100% option with the slider in the wallet menu. (Damus TestFlight. Not sure if it’s in the App Store)

The star means you’ve turned on one-tap zaps with nostr wallet connect and have opted to send an additional % of each one tap zap to support Damus development. I think it’s still only on the testflight version.

Agreed. Zapped

Wanting to be liked

vs

Wanting to provide value

simple as

You can have both. They are not mutually exclusive.

It’s a spectrum. 💜

Likes are for the fiat minded

I’m all about the ⚡️ BZE ⚡️

Maybe, but I don’t write notes for likes.

This is the first social like this I've participated in. Trying to build a platform for the first time, I quickly realized boosts are king of low time preference engagement. Zaps are pay me today. Boosts get me new followers, assuming my content is worth boosting or following of course. Get the followers and make quality content and zaps will come automatically.

Zaps cost the bigger account just the sats. Boosts are the real plug because the account dropping the boost is putting their reputation on the line to say this person is worth your time to read.

Anyone have stats on this? I bet the data supports me. There will be more likes, then zap events, and the fewest boosts if I'm right.

I tend to agree with this, except with a slight variation. When it comes to zaps I am more in favor of zapping fewer posts but with larger amounts of sats, as opposed to zapping many posts with very small amounts. A substantial zap is a meaningful communication because it actually costs me something to send it, and it directly and measurably benefits the person who receives it.

That's true. When I see a standout post on a small account I like to see what their RX zaps look like. If reasonable, I send them the biggest single zap they've ever gotten. That sends a different message than another 21 or 69 sat zap does.

Vitor is training us well 😂

Even before likes were invented…
