Nostr Web Client

I stopped zapping newcomers a while back. I think it’s the same reason why I lost interest in zapathons. Both have too much potential to be abused by scammers.

No doubt about it we’re setting them up for disappointment.

When our wave started on nostr, we were from twitter or some were new. We didn’t have a zapping committee in introductions. No weird expectations. And a lot of us are still here. Something to think about I guess

I'm with nostr:nprofile1qqsp3yzapfwkyw4cr2vt4xx9s27474lj2pkxhqyfqh79n826pv3fkzqpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq3qamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wd3skueqpvemhxue69uhkv6tvw3jhytnwdaehgu3wwa5kuef0dec82c33wfaxwwfk0f4xzan8v968x7p4vd5ryankw3cngct5v96xc7f4wfmxgam3va48qvr4w3u8wdp40fjh5mnk09ckvert0pmx20mzwfhkzerrv9ehg0t5wf6k247samd on this. Folks just expect zaps for existing when we zap newbies. We have to welcome them and show them the way.

zaps are a bit of a distraction imo.

i've seen lots of "gm" notes get much larger zaps than some really profound insights. not really proof of work to me...

If you look at the original post, Corndalorian’s meme, one of the parts is zapping friends. When I say GM to some friends I’ll zap a big amount for fun. We usually zap eachother like that. Different kind of greeting for different npubs/friends. It’s not mandatory at all, just an explanation of why you could see large zaps on GMs sometimes

that makes sense—zaps are fun and interesting, but not the main attraction. at least to me they're not.

the expectations point and the scammer insight is spot-on.

Totally agree. Conversation and building rapport first. Zaps later
