Too zap on your note shows up on the top of the thread.

What’s the zapesrtising on damus update?

I have nothing to sell but want play with it.

Such a busy morning I forgot to come say what’s up!

Leaving for Italy to celebrate a couple of special occasions this month. And for lots of great wine 🥂

Agreed. I am happy to pay for “Damus Purple” and for relays in exchange for the effort and cost of doing exactly NOT this.

Feedback and introspection is essential to any purposeful enterprise.

I’m definitely on the side of caution and hesitation on this one.

Advertising is cancer in its current model, but people simultaneously refuse to pay for the things they use.

I respect the attempt to increase the financial viability of Nostr, but I can genuinely say that I hate my feed with these on. Will has already stated an option to turn it off is coming, so I’m not gonna panic or spread drama or FUD, but yes…. We should 💯 consider the implications and cultural things associated with encouraging something like this.

I don’t see this benefiting the small shops once it catches on. It’s going to benefit the companies with enough funds to spray and pray. We’re just early and we may get away with it for now, but I don’t buy the party line that this is revolutionary or solving any real problem.

I’m just in awe of how everyone thinks it’s wonderful is all.

I fully understand the protocol and it’s implications. I just underestimated people’s willingness to become the product… again.

oh goodness. sounds precarious for someone with 8/9 used. currently on my second French press soaking up the desert sun with no sunscreen or sunglasses

One never really leaves such places. They're imprinted on the soul 🫨🫨

gm Sikto! what are you up to?

I promise you I didn't set this up 👀

good morning #coffeechain

Yes, damus could make it so you don't see zapvertisements, but it can't stop others from seeing it unless they opt out themselves too.

The events have always been there. Damus is just rendering them.

They don’t appear in plebstr.

Tbf this needs a toggle. I’m not going to use a client where there’s dozens of ads attached to high profile posts. But, that’s why they call it test flight.

It's just displaying/sorting events differently. You can't stop people from displaying data on nostr however they like.

No damus can't, it'd have to be able to censor nostr.

AFAIK they shouldn’t appear in other clients. Are they?

This is 💯 correct. The zap event can be displayed by any client, there are a few on the web (and plebstr) where you can tap to view who they were and how much, etc.

It would affect your feed only.

I am on android and have no idea if now my posts on damus show up with pinned zaps

But do not want to help promote scams or worse to people on damus so just had to remove it.

Can't really enforce how clients present data. If you don't want people to see your zaps don't send zap recipients
