To am extent, but ultimately the individual has no control over that perception. Eliminating the need to try controlling that perception might be something to consider.
Maybe a gamified reputation system might be better imagined as a gamified self-perception system instead? Some semi-private personal accountability metric rather than a public attestation. We are our own worst critics, after all.
I am still thinking this through but I keep getting distracted.
That's exactly it. I was thinking of this *for* metrics to gauge myself, not on using them to judge others. This note was the Genesis of these thoughts. I guess some might use it to judge others, but we see that happen with zap totals sometimes too.
Right, ok. I gotcha. Anything reflected publicly is definitely a double-edged sword.
Maybe we just need a little owl that pops on the screen after you scroll x number of notes and asks with sad eyes 🥺 "why havent you replied?" and other variations 😅
I was thinking instead of watching your number of follows go up, you watch your post to comment ratio, or the number of people you have interacted with lately go up. People like a number. Give them a number that's less shitty.
I'm honestly kinda tired of this thread 😅 it just ended up as an argument over the definition of words and how I shouldn't use the term gamification because they don't like that word. I'll just never post questions to start debate again and stick to my memes, problem solved 😂
I don't like that either! To the ban-gulag!
I'll stop 😅🫂 I appreciate the question. I like stuff that makes me think.
but seriously - "we do not walk around with a number on our forehead in meatspace, nor should we in cyberspace"
any metrics are just numbers to hit for influencers. You can of course make metrics for any number of reasons, but true social capital is earned by just participating and seeing who you vibe with. Nostr lets anyone experiment around with whatever persona they want with minimal risk, and that's why it'll encourage others to be themselves without artificially encouraging any behavior.

Or to really answer the heart of your question:
"how can Nostr do the same with the best parts and encourage community, communication, and connection?"
"Be excellent to each other"
quik, everyone pile on this thread or ryan and his hoard of others will make us want more pizzas 😂
