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.

It doesn't matter if someone "likes" my own writing or not. Repost too. Zap is fun for me anyway. It has a monthly budget. I'm not investing.

Being able to write gives me enough satisfaction already.

But I'm happy to "like" people's posts. As respect for their work. It's like telling them, "I saw you. You're not alone."

I also respect the opinion of those who do not want this.

But I can't see who is hiding it in Amethyst.

I guess you get notifications even in onlyzap mode.

I am sorry about that.

"It's like telling them I saw you. You're not alone".

That matters. Being able to communicate in that "form" is a reaction. Maybe this isn't black or white? :)

We don't know who needs what. We don't have to know either.

Maybe what they need at that moment is to be seen. Maybe not. : )

We can carry some things like the postman. Not knowing what's inside.

It's kind of like zapathon. Very nice for me. I'm reading the global. And I'm distributing "likes". Sometimes hugs :))
