Nostr Web Client

I am curious, what would you get out of a reaction to the post that nobody but you can see? Will simple “ack” I saw it and consider it read be the solution? 🐶🐾🫡

It will be seen by everyone who doesn't have that enabled. And also to know what you have liked before 😀

Then maybe “ack” is it? What if I do not what to have likes display together with my note? What if I don’t want people to sway others by their “reactions”? Should I have that choice? Or should you have a choice to affect my content? 🐶🐾🫡

In the abstract, it is impossible to prevent your users’ clients from asking relays for reactions and aggregating the results. Uncensorability is a foundational principle of the nostr protocol.

It is possible for client implementations to honor your preference and hide that information from other users. Damus is trying this out with OnlyZaps.

Users who don’t want to have that information hidden can choose to use other clients which do not censor reactions.

That’s my point. Having any sort of reactions will impact how it’s perceived and read by other users. I am saying that presence of reactions that are prone to manipulation and misinterpretation is not a good thing. 🐶🐾🫡

If you’re worried about spam likes, then clients could filter by proof-of-work as described in NIP-13.

But there’s no absolute way to censor reactions. This is a core feature of nostr. Uncensorability is the reason nostr exists at all.

So you are questioning the method we have now to mute trolls, they still affect your content, and that's fine. It's up to each of us, (the others) whether this user is a troll to us or not. Applying this to likes, in my point of view, is a winning option.
