Then display it in the comments
Discussion
If a clientβs like button caused a π note to be added to a noteβs replies, you would be fine with that?
Yes. If someone really wants to react with the β€οΈ or π€ or π they should have to enter it in the comments or allow the content consumer to 1 tap any emoji. Why discriminate against the π and the π© emojis.
In the current form, likes are meaningless and worthless reactions that require zero critical thinking. They take away from the content that was published. It's a social form of advertisement that deviates attention away from the post and can alter one's opinion.
Even showing the number of comments is superficial and takes away from the content that was published.
So youβre not really against likes, youβre against the way that clients display them: under an icon with a counter, instead of as a replying note. The former design makes likes βmeaningless,β bereft of critical thinking, βadvertisements,β attention-diverters, and opinion-alterers. If only clients put a list of redundant likes under a note, they would be none of those things.
Or how about you mute people who don't respect your lack of a like function? If they want to troll you, you're giving them what they want by being pissed. Mute and never see them again.
You have all the power in the world tk determine how your words are published, you have no control of how it's reacted to or respinded to. Anything altering that reality is an infringement on free speech. You can't stop reactions, but you can close your eyes, plug your ears, and pretend what you don't like doesn't exist.
What if my likes identify as a zap? How dare you oppress me by not consenting to my reality! I have a right to like, and you not partaking is a microagression.
This is how your arguments sound. You control 1 thing, and 1 thing only. You. And I hope Nostr stays that way. You don't get to decide how people respond, you get to decide how you take it and what you do about it, the power is yours. Censor yourself and no one else.
No, your point is just that you want to stomp your feet and have everybody else forced to behave the way you'd like. That's not how this works.

I read your ramble...so you just want emojis. Just say that.
All or nothing
So just reactions a la discord
