So, I wrote "staff" instead of "stuff" on Telegram.
Then I pasted that on Nostr without fixing it.
Then the guy who started the whole Nostr pasted it.
So now I'll never run from the fact I wrote that like an idiot.

Funny things aside (yes, I pointed this out because I find it funny), thank you nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 a lot for quoting this!
I don’t always read staffs, but when I do, they’re on #nostr.
Are you re-evaluating kind-1 editing again now?! Hahaha
PS: Add a LN address
No and no :-)
Now I'm curious to know about the second no, do you mind sharing the reason? :)
I don't mind, thank you for your curiosity.
I'm not here for money. I see Nostr as an instrument to enhance Freedom of Speech, a fundamental human right.
That's what I care about, money is secondary. I'm here for social networking.
I think economic incentives, in practice, don't improve the microblogging experience and are, if anything, often detrimental to it.
If I ever do publish some way to receive donation, it will likely allow multiple currencies (not just Bitcoin) and be related to my blog or other kinds of long-form content.
If I write something that you like on Nostr, you can show your appreciation with a like or (better yet) a nice comment.
There is also, and this is not secondary, the fact that I think Nostr is already too much about Bitcoin.
I don't want to contribute more content about Bitcoin (including an address I would own) and more interactions about Bitcoin (including receiving transactions).
I don't currently own any Bitcoin, but if and when I do (which I more than likely will) connecting my address to my Nostr account won't be my priority.
I might or might not do it.
Thank you for the thorough answer.
I generally agree that the main point here is the freedom of speach.
Zapping is not a necessity by any means, but it is a nice and improved way to express appreciation, because it allows you to be truly aware of what you are rewarding, and for the recipient it is a concrete contribution.
Money is energy.
I don't think they are a good systems because how much "appreciation" you can show depends on how much money you have.
Only if you think of appreciation as a competition. For me it's not about how much, it's about having a change in awareness. In fact, I agree with you that participating with a response is a great way to provide value. A reaction is still a signal, but it is a low-effort feedback.
Personally (and you might agree with this) I think a comment, even a very simple one, is a "greater effort" thing than a payment.
(Which may actually be an argument in favor of either, depending on the circumstances).
It depends. If I think the user posted a piece of content looking for a v4v rationale, for example, a journalist posting an article, I try to act according to what I think for him is the greatest value at that moment. A response doesn't help him pay the bills :)
