reactions are noise, not signal for content creators. The quicker we move to zaps for signal the better

Reactions are a fake signal to scam advertisers buts thats about it

These advertisers - are they in this room?

Will you also be banning comments when a user opts to leave simply a reaction?

😯

Reactions are noise, but so are user tags. I suggested to Amethyst that users should be able to tag each other on a note without leaving a comment. Clean the noise! I support that.

Signal on the forefront, optional "noise" where desired.

NIP-25 reactions for life, personally

Likes allow users to gage community acceptance of their thoughts for those that can't afford to send bitcoin to others just for posting online.

Change my mind.

Can’t afford? 1msat is $0.0000008

I can't afford my fucking electric bill...

Why would I send others money for just posting online?

Are you sending me sats for posting this or....

get started with 1000 zapping sats now

A small fee is indeed the most effective way to prevent spam. If it’s not worth spending money, you can just leave a reply instead. I do use it from time to time too, but if someone ask me whether it’s an essential feature, I’d say probably not.

after being off likes for about a year now I can say that are mostly harmful. it's not good to know if everyone in the world likes your posts or not. likes are ubiquitous in nostr clients. nothing wrong with new clients trying a more ascetic approach

Two character comments can be recognized

I can't express emotion with Zaps though.

I love to zap AND emote.

Single emote likes (hearts, thumb, etc.) are shitcoins.

you absolutely could. there's no reason why you couldn't have a reaction associated with a zap

Now we're talking.

I'm reacting to most messages on Notedeck's messages and it's really fun honestly!
