Subnostr

So Onlyzaps, for a while I thought it was a Nostr-based Onlyfans-clone. I was wrong. (Although it still could be.)

Either way, I think likes are a good way to say, "hey, I like that." Or, "I agree," but maybe not "like it so much I part with sats that will one day be a dollar each."

Just because someone didn't like your thing THAT much (enoughto zap), it's cool not to get complete radio-silence. (It took me a while to break through Nostr. I kinda still am.) But does hitting the like absolve the person of 'duty' to provide value? IS THERE any duty to provide value to others? Of course not. It's just being nice. So whatever people feel like doing, it's up to them.

(Side note, I highly recommend Wallet Connect, now I don't have to open another app to zap. Also, if you pick and choose your zaps 'too much' (whats too much?, anyway) just lower the amount you zap.

I think we need to get past social media validation through likes. The great thing about nostr is there is no right or wrong way just do what you want.

#onlyzaps pushes people to make higher quality content or comments. If it becomes heavily used then you're monetizing your social media in a way that can't be done currently with other services.

Likes = Fiat (needed sometimes)

Zaps = Hard Money

Comment = Proof-of-Work

Repost = ?

Reposts are great! Discovering new accounts is still a bit wonky and varies from client to client. Some global feeds do friends of friends. But sometimes I feel like I don't see people because of what relay? (but not sure)

How about this?

Likes = Fiat (needed sometimes)

Zaps = Hard Money

Comment = Proof-of-Work

Repost = Nodes

I agree with you Timechain. I did go onlyzaps just because most are, and it sounds like they want it that way permanently anyway. But a nice gesture to me doesnt require me throwing pennies at them because they spoke. Often I dont have time to comment. So I assume it will get a little more quiet around here. (Less happy simple engagement)

I think zapit.live by #[2] is starting to enable OnlyFans-like content on nostr without needing a separate app for it.
