I’ve seen some bitcoiners on twitter trying to argue, sorta, against nostr, trying to throw out some gotchas on how nostr works, clients, etc.

Guys. Come on. You research bitcoin for thousands of hours but can’t look into nostr for 15 minutes?

Maybe some of it is valid. Given existance of blacklists and client-side censorship how is nostr censorship resistant? If all clients censor you, you can post, but nobody will see it.

Make your own client?

True…censorship resistant*

Compared to twitter with one central ability to censor. I’d take the other route, and we’re just getting started with nostr clients, resources, etc

Its better for sure but if majority of used clients (not too many) decide a user is no bueno, its effectively the same. Someone can still probably reach their content but they wont grow and forget virality

Against * is good for engagement

True, and I’ve seen some good responses from nostr plebs

They like the likes

Worst thing we ever did

It surprised me how much I’ve come to like not seeing any likes/reactions these past few weeks. Whatever benefit some people find with them, not having the option at all has been a significant improvement for me.

Agreed! Love it. Changes everything.

💯 agreed.

Points you toward actually commenting and interacting instead of just liking and lurking

Are you disabling that? What client are you using? I don’t want to see reactions but I am inside Damus… 🤔 I want that experience!

Damus testflight. #onlyzaps

Turn on onlyzaps

lmfao -

onlyzaps⚡️ sounds logic however the 🤙should count as a "ticket" to a periodic "in-built wallet draw" which in turn rewards #Sats to @users via LNURL - this would also drive more interaction with the #nostr network and ecosystem. Pura Vida! #Mozambique🇲🇿 #Africa

Yeah... so that's been a little awkward to get used to again... but whatever. I'll enjoy it until it gets weird. 😂

🤙

the shaka is more of a lift than anything - i'm not entirely sure what the point is.

makes so much sense, doesn't it?!?!

I have never cared too much about reactions but I want to try it the hard way: removed in Gossip via preferences.
