You can argue that people migrating from other social platforms expect to be able to like a post. I think keeping some habits that people already have come to know would be good to keep around, to help keep the attention of new users to nostr. I’m all for dropping the like button, but I can also see a purpose for the like button as well.

It’s like quitting smoking, if you want to stop bad habit, you stop. Providing it to people not gonna help them! There is no second best? 🐶🐾🫡

Quitting smoking is difficult for a lot of people. Some people ease into it, weaning them selves off nicotine over time, others quit “cold turkey”, maybe if you could opt into only zaps as the reader vs the poster it would help with slowly teaching the new way. I definitely get your point though, feeding a habit to an addict is never a good thing to do, and might be good to just force it, but idk if that’s the best way to go about it. Again I see both sides, just throwing my thoughts out there.

Good thoughts, 💯 agree! I do like the experiment though! Also, replying with “+1” or “🤙🏻” is an option! 🐶🐾🫡

But how would that be any different than a simple one click option to just show some appreciation to a post. Adding a “+1” or a 🤙 in the comments is just a lot more steps than a click. But yes, I am all for the experiment, and the feed back will definitely help shape the future of nostr. 💯
