I’m confused about what problem you’re trying to solve in that case.
In your view, how is replying “👍” better than reacting with it?
Discussion
you can't see the problem when its been normalized and everything uses it. you have to step outside the matrix for awhile to see the benefits.
not seeing peoples reactions on every single one of my posts frees my mind from having to think about that stuff. I just post whatever I want now and don't really think about if people like it or not.
zaps are a bit different. I usually get zapped for releasing new features and things, which keeps me motivated to keep building.
Well said. 💜🫂
I just enabled #onlyzaps
the ‘red bubble’ UI for notifications = mad anxiety and distraction hell
Twitter, FB, IG, TikTok,Primal, YakiHonne all have them
Feels like Notifications are just Ads in disguise
its not easy. its like weaning off of a drug
would you say people respond to incentives?
That's the definition of incentives. If it didn't work, then incentives wouldn't be a word.
I can’t see the problem because I’m not an influencer with an audience. Not sure you realize what your actual position and status has turned into. I have no doubt that only-zaps works great for you and Jack.
😂 the onlyzaps fanboys replying with a reaction instead of just hitting the react button makes me giggle, that's not a short comment that's a thumbs up or a heart with more steps. I like to zap, I like to use custom reacts in amethyst, I appreciate any engagement 🤷♀️. There have been many missed choice reactions by the people using the onlyzaps feature. The best part of this whole thing is that you can use it however you want ☺️☺️.
I would maybe argue that responding that way requires a bit more proof of work than a single-button-press thumbs up. It's sort of comparable to just swiping left on every match in tinder. It has really little value.
I do not use it in that way, it feels like you are forcing followers and/or engagement in the cheapest way. If i really like something or see a chance for a witty reaction i will use it. If i found any actual value in it apart from agreement or a chuckle i'll throw in a zap.
In the end it does not matter. This is nostr! If you want to thumbs up the damn thing you hit that button, just like it's somebody else's choice to not look at them.
