I don’t think interactions need to only be about transacting value. And making your presence known is also valuable to me for discoverability.
But you’re entitled to prefer no interaction to likes… I prefer likes to no interaction and then absolutely am very very grateful for zaps. ⚡️
Why would you want a value-less interaction? There are ways to interact that do not transact money. Replies and reposts are excellent. Likes are simply pointless and worthless.
🤙
I guess likes could be replies. Hadn’t thought of it that way 🤔
And some posts/content don’t warrant an interaction at all. I scroll by over half the stuff in my feed and focus on what truly seems interesting, beginning with my notifications. Attention is a scarce resource because time is limited. Give attention to things that deserve attention, and if they truly deserve your attention then they certainly deserve more than a pointless tap on a heart button.
I shall keep that in mind and try to remember not to send you fast tap hearts 🫡
And I shall see if these reflections change my automatic simplified like behavior with other 🤔 I guess new habits may be invited
I was addicted to likes when I joined nostr, both giving and receiving them. That’s how other social media has trained us. I intentionally stopped using it, initially for 30 days, and I couldn’t believe how hard it was to stop, and I noticed how I began interacting with people and content differently.
I was literally about to hit like, and then caught myself. It's like an addiction to a quick high. 🤔
It does happen 🙃🤙
I was just about to do it again. 🥺🤷
The question is, what point does it serve? 🤔
It it the “point” at the end of a convo? 😅
It never hurt anyone to experiment. I’ll try being more thoughtful about my interactions , try to figure out if likes have any role to play, or if it’s better to simply write a reply or zap.
I feel reposts hold another role. In any case, thanks for the time and attention to discuss it 🤙
Thanks to you as well 🙏
There is absolutely no value in this reply 🖕 😃
There is though. You took time to type and send it, and it helps me get to know your personality just a little bit more. Replying to someone is an actual meaningful social activity.
true this
I learn more each day. It is meaningful, isn't it?
💯🫂
You're one of a kind corn. I don't care what nostr:nprofile1qqs9kqvr4dkruv3t7n2pc6e6a7v9v2s5fprmwjv4gde8c4fe5y29v0spz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq3samnwvaz7tmswfjk66t4d5h8qunfd4skctnwv46qzrthwden5te0dehhxtnvdakqae7rfn says about you. 🫂
To clarify... that was my reply, not yours :)
