Yeah for people who use likes this way I feel like it just took away a feature needlessly. As an #OnlyZaps user it doesn’t affect me anyways so I don’t mind re-enabling it. I am still concerned about when new users like without knowing what the zap icon means next to their name. They might be angered when they learn their likes weren’t getting through.

Indeed. And for the people that want to receive that from you, they can do so! For those that don’t, they don’t need to see it! And won’t anyway!

What if likes are only there for comments on a note?

Indeed the wrong way. Likes are not real engagement, they’re a data collection mechanism to influence the algorithms ability to serve you content.

Only zaps actually incentivizes new users to engage in a meaningful way, rather than simply consume content. By becoming engaged, their thoughts and ideas are then contributed to the greater discussion.

This honest engagement allows their comments to be zapped, encouraging them to continue to participate. It also funds their ability to zap others they find valuable.

Influencers are often “ratioed” in todays world. But such happenings actually continue to boost their signal and influence, even though it was deemed negative or false by the community.

In an only zaps world, influencers are incentivized to continually provide real value to collect zaps, as opposed to farm valueless likes for the algorithms to continue to propagate their popularity.

I like it, especially would be cool with your memes

Can’t wait to implement recurring or pre-payments to Nostream. People are going to lose their minds. 🙃

There’s no one size fits all. You’ve probably found a decent middle ground for now. I’m mostly trolling the nonsense that people have been complaining about.

So you mean there are more controversial features coming ? 😏

More controversial and opinionated the better. We need more of this not less.

What!?! We need paywalls. High quality content is costly to produce. No paywall, no party. Pay walls, zap tags and splits are so so important IMO

Same. Or just move on because I have nada to add

Happy to help! I like to nerd out about features and smart phones in general. Thanks for the zap!

Sorry jack! I’m not hip to tech

Il faut attentif #[6] à votre pouvoir d'influence dans un groupe , qui n'est le même que pour tout quidam ...par ailleurs j'ai apprécié le Zapathon de Notricia que j'ai suivi de loin

Exactly! What? I get to be here while they build? Test? Dream? Share ideas as ridiculous as they might sound? This is what the renaissance must have felt like 🤣

Je ne suis pas sûr d’avoir compris

Zap, reposted, comented, liked and even shared it via e-mail. 💜

Time will tell, how many will still be with this activated in a month's time? Most of the people who promote it are influential people and therefore used to dopamine, we will see.

I share the discourse of looking for an alternative to the drift of the last 15 years in social apps, I don't want shit-influencers in nostr too, but, let's talk, let's discuss. I haven't seen any poll, or forum, or anything to talk about something that (let's not fool ourselves) can change a lot the way we interact.

I am nobody, just one more, mediocre, normal, imperfect. But I feel partly responsible for everything we are building, maybe it's an age thing, who knows? 😅

Oh definitely! It's just a curious situation. I'm really in no position to have a valuable opinion on such things, let alone understanding the technical complexity. I imagine eventually everything will gravitate toward fairly consistent basic features on their own, just by human nature.
