The role of zaps in this cannot be understated.

They encourage constructive discourse and conflict resolution.

the lack of incentivizing controversy via the old social media engagement algos + the positive reinforcement that is zaps has completely flipped the script for social media IMO.

Idk if anyone has really thought this through deeply yet but to me it’s novel and deserves a close eye as things develop.

On Nostr you’re only rewarded for engaging constructively. Negative reply’s get you ignored or blocked.
