Yeah for people who use likes this way I feel like it just took away a feature needlessly. As an #OnlyZaps user it doesn’t affect me anyways so I don’t mind re-enabling it. I am still concerned about when new users like without knowing what the zap icon means next to their name. They might be angered when they learn their likes weren’t getting through.
Discussion
I like the way you said this! I love the #onlyzaps feature but really don’t care if someone else doesn’t want to use it. It’s not that big of a deal honestly, but seeing your perspective on it from a new user side really is interesting.
Even the argument that it is important for discovery of “like minded” (pun maybe intended) people to follow is a stretch. The author of the note should be able to determine how they want to engage and be able to be transparent about not wanting the likes.
The argument that was given that I had a hard time refuting was: if we don’t do it for blocks (muting instead) why do it for likes? OnlyZaps was like blocking for likes. I do want to remain somewhat logically consistent in the way I apply these types of restrictions.
Is blocks implementable on #nostr?
Say you have client A that implements blocking, and client B that doesn’t.
Have any clients implemented blocking not just by name (not muting)?
i'll be honest personally i really like the 🤙 a lot and was a bit surprised at first that people here didn't use it that much - but maybe #onlyzaps is the way forward for this platform - possibly set it as default on / opt out for clients (not sure yet if this would be wise) ... any opinions from the #plebchain ?
