What is elitist about #OnlyZaps ?
Discussion
Didn’t understand that either sorry 🫣
Nothing at all
I think it shouldn’t matter if you use it or don’t use it! I think calling it elitist is exaggerating though
💯 well said
I guess a sat is already too expensive for most 🤷♂️🤣
The feature itself isn’t elitist. It appears some are acting as if you must use #onlyzaps or you are low iq for wanting to tap a like button.
I don’t get wanting to tap a like button when you know the recipient won’t see it. I’m not saying it’s “low IQ” but I just don’t understand the desire/compulsion.
I’m with you on that. Just because I don’t get it, though, doesn’t mean it’s wrong. This is an experiment and a transition. After a little while, if most people become #onlyzaps users, then the like button gets removed completely and users don’t care.
I don’t think it is.
Nothing. Comments, reposts, quotes and ignoring a note are all free.
Nothing at all. It’s a smear campaign, perpetrated by the deep pockets over at #footstr
Everyone can afford a couple of sats 🤪
I can't figure out how to set up the wallet automatically so that I don't have to open the app every time to send zaps. So then I have to decide on one set sat amount everybody will get. It's too much of a pain to send zaps unless I can get help figuring it out
Elite in the suburbs of #nostr 🤣
I know this is in response to the post I made. Frankly I'm a little annoyed that rather than engaging with me you go to your followers and ask this question without any context of where it came from. Rude.
First mover advantage is a thing, but probably not a big factor. Anyone can build a following with the right platform and some effort. What I'm kind of trying to highlight is that people with large followings start to behave differently because of it. Take this post for example:
#[2]
This is clearly a response to my post. This guy has over 4k followers, and instead of responding to me directly he makes a new post that drops all the context. Even though I started the conversation, he attempted to cut me out and take control of the discussion. In one half assed post he got 20x the amount of engagement. This is the type of elitism I am talking about. Some people with large followings let it go to their heads, and in my opinion #onlyzaps feeds into that.
You won't see anyone with a small or no following turn on onlyzaps. If we get one like on a post that's a good day for us. Yet these influencers are trying to say likes aren't good enough for them. I'm sorry, but that is pretty clear elitism.
For those who haven't been following, is this just allowing users to disable likes? If so I don't see the big deal; reactions are an optional NIP.
It does seem a bit awkward though now that many clients have already implemented likes, and now some users will be silently ignoring them.
