Shouldn’t control over #onlyzaps be the other way around where if I only want to zap people, then I enable a setting in MY client to hide likes (accept people who have no ln address in their profile)?

Otherwise you have a fragmented experience and a sort of whackamole trying to see what’s likable or zap-able.

Remove all likes 🤝

You’ll scare off a lot of new users

I don’t think this should be default now.

I could see how it could be discussed when we have seamless wallet and zap integration in app.

DMed you 📸

I do think it should be the other way around. 💯 we are all learning this together, what works and what doesn’t. It’s pretty cool seeing everything evolve and take shape. Trial and error will get nostr to a good place, imo anyways.

Maybe, maybe not! Let’s test and see! Experimenting at this stage is good! 🐶🐾🫡

Agreed, only one way to find out. 🤝

I understand that, ultimately, it is the user's choice to decide what kind of notifications they want to receive.

However, removing the 'like' may not be the solution.

Instead, having an option to attach zaps to likes with wallet connect seems like a more reasonable approach.

We should not reduce the channels of engagement.

I’m concerned there will be confused new users who have no idea why they can’t like something on a client that looks like Twitter

Maybe? But do you want people who aren't able to learn use a zap instead of a like? I mean, it doesn't have to be just a decentralized Twitter, right?

I like it as an idea but not as a standard but I am open to experiments, I mean ZAP was an experiment.

It’s off by default. They would have to intentionally I turn it on in settings.🤷‍♂️.

I agree with this. Unless we want Nostr to be 100% only for one group of people. Which I don’t think is the point

Then they will have learn! Or be BROKEN against bitcoin’s infinite wheel…like all the others

They will learn when they see the value. Forcing it will just make non-Nostriches or non-bitcoiners reluctant to join and they’ll stick with the ‘free’ blue bird app

So if someone thinks that like mean something to them, are they potentially victim of an algorithm running in thier head?

I think this change does not make sense, social interactions do not always have to be based on money. How many times have I told a friend or family member that I like what they do and that has more value than giving them 50 cents, don't you think?

But have you tried giving them <$ .01 and tell them you like what they do ? 😂⚡️

🤣🤣🤣

I made a meme about this a while back 😂

That's the neat part. Capitalism means you get to choose. Aggregate choice of individual actors will push the best ideas forward. It's emergent, chaotic and beautiful.
