For disclosure, I wish for a future where I can build my simple algo in the client to create “what have I missed” feeds that I can control.
Likes would be useful to keep to give another data input to the algo.
Don’t put too much weight on these ideas I throw out, they just pure exploration. By discussing them with other it helps me to better explore them, collective thinking out loud.
But if I am having a shitty day and I could quickly filter out all the posts that made people angry from my custom algo feed, I’d love to be able to so
The challenge then becomes spam. On Twitter, for instance, someone could go buy hundreds or thousands of likes on a tweet through a 3rd party service. I saw someone do this last year and they won 1M sats in a meme contest because the winner was chosen solely on number of likes. 😅 When likes cost nothing or very little, they become an easy target. When something that costs very little becomes an input into an algorithm that could get your attention, now it becomes an attractive target. An easy attractive way to put information in front of lots of people’s eyes with the hopes of manipulating some into falling for scams, believing fake news, etc etc etc.
Since when forcing people to do something actually works? #[6] is not the only client out there
It has never worked, well sometimes it has 🤣.
But I agree, there are more customers, but it's a pity that the most important nostr client (and the one that works best too 💜) makes these changes without generating a debate first.
My humble opinion, I open the umbrella ☂️☂️☂️☂️☂️☂️☂️☂️😅😅☂️☂️☂️☂️☂️
We are still forgetting that it’s not in release. It’s a test, nobody is forced to do anything! App Store version is still available! 🐶🐾🫡
By you turning on zaps only, that is forcing me 😆 to zap ⚡️
Feel free not to zap me, comment, sure. If this will make you feel better, I’ll remove my LN url just for you. I’ve done it before and I’ll do it again, just say a word! 🐶🐾🫡
That sounds a lot like an ultimatum 😆
Not really, at least not intentionally. What I am trying to say is, everyone should have a choice (to an extent) and we should all respect it! 🐶🐾🫡
All good. We just have to agree to disagree. 😁
That’s the way! I am glad we can actually talk as civilized people! Love you and this place! 🐶🐾🫂💜💜💜
It will be interesting to see what happens when there are more iOS native nostr client choices. If there’s a client that lets me keep using likes, and Damus censors me, then I’m switching.
There are already alternatives, look:

impressive ! I love so much when there's no central entity 🤗
Zeusln is a wallet and nostr ?
Not all are nostr clients. These are:
Damus
Iris
Nos
Nostur
Plebstr
hoo ok, yes. I was just wondering :)
good enough :) haha

Yeah, maybe I should switch to Test Flight. Though if I did, my likes would already be censored. 😂

That’s the spirit of the protocol.

Of course, the debate is on the testflight version, that's for sure 🙂
Also the word "force" is very harsh, I mean simply, couldn't it work the same as the current "mute" feature?

In fact I can make a quick shell script now to generate millions of new npubs and post “like” note to any note. 🐶🐾🫡
Yes also with comments, or zaps of 1 sat. Pow is the solution for that 💜
POW on mobile is a literal killer feature. There are places for it, but I think this is not it. 🐶🐾🫡
You think? I didn't have that on my radar, why?
It will use more compute and hence more emu, which results in your phone dying quickly! 🐶🐾🫡
But only for events, so if you are not fishcake or quentin 🤣🤣 and you only create ¿10? events a day should be affordable for a phone, i think
Every milliwatt counts. The cheaper you make it the more abuse you will have. 🐶🐾🫡
Agreed, also, a troller doesnt care about pow. Why would he? He can just run a heavier processing unit to bypass the pow.
The aim is to make it difficult for them, but I think the debate now is not about PoW but about yesterday's update.
Nice to meet you 😀
Nice to meet you too. What was the new update about? Something with zaps only right?
Yes, you can see the entire note, we have discussed a lot 😆.
Im on amethyst and need to scroll up for a long time haha
Exactly, we've been talking for hours, you've got plenty of time 🤣🤣 if you want to read my initial note, it sums up my opinion quite well.

The point of PoW in the context of nostr posts is to make it costly to spam. Trolls have budgets just like everyone else.

NIP-13 describes how PoW can be delegated specifically to address the problem of low-power devices (mobile). One could pay a miner to mine a note’s PoW.

You can do this on https://www.sats4likes.com
I’ve used it to pump a few things on Twitter. The whole thing is manipulated so I have no problem manipulating it to my ends and doing so with Sats to a #Nostrich dev.

Absolutely, then we need to address trustworthiness through a aggregated and uncoruptable trustworthiness rating model, just typing this feels Orwellian but methods of addressing trustworthiness rating at least for commercial exchanges at protocol level could be interesting Trust is hard to earn over time, and easily lost.
