You are larping if you rave about #zapping and still use the like button instead.

You could even set it to 5 sats or whatever minimum works. I've gotten 1 sat zaps from people (probably using custodial products).

If you don't zap and don't post about how great zapping is (while hardly/never zapping), this post isn't for you. Keep using that fiat like button. No problem.

For me: #Zaps only. Fuck the like button.


I see value, I zap value.

Not everyone or everything needs a zap.
I like stuff, and then I REALLY like stuff.

Thoughts?


This automatically excludes anyone who doesn’t have a lightning wallet which is the majority of people on nostr.

Also, likes are good for read receipts.


Yes 🙌


No it doesn't. I made an exception for people who don't use zaps and don't go around exclaiming how revolutionary they are.


i wish there was a client that was onlyzaps never even build in the like stuff...like stacker news


Amen 🙏


You can zap such little amounts that it hardly constitutes value. So you can't like it all that much if all you are willing to do is tap a useless like button.

You can set different zap amounts to different levels of liking something.

If you read the entire post, then it probably wasn't made for you.

If you run around posting about how great zaps are for engagement, then it is for you.


What is a read receipt?


How do you know they don’t zap?


To show someone you’ve seen their note


You also said that likes are fiat.

I disagree.

Not everyone in the beginning had Bitcoin to spend.

People will react, as they want, as sovereign people, without anyone saying otherwise.

Why are your standards so elitist?


Letting someone know you have eyes on their post. I don’t think every post I like deserves sats.


What client are you using?


I’m here for both.


Who?


The people you are referring to


You can show them you saw their note with the zap button too. But that's really beside the point of this post. You're ignoring most of the note where I made it clear who I'm talking to here.


I think the like is pointless


I'm starting to wonder how much of the note you even read. It was a general post to anyone who meets the criteria I laid out. I added an exclusion for literally everyone else.


Then the note doesn't apply to you, as stated in the note.


#Amethyst, per my current one week challenge to use only Amethyst.


I don’t see it that way. People use social media or anything for that matter in different ways. Shaming someone for saying they are larping for not zapping is lame. You don’t know that they don’t zap other notes. You can like 90% of notes and zap the other 10% for things you found truly valuable. You can also “like” as a read receipt - acknowledging that you heard them. If you don’t like that, that’s fine, but people will use that however they wish. There is no one way. I’m not a fan of any kind of shaming people into my desired way of doing things. The same goes for using paid products instead of open source alternatives.


Wonder all you want I just replied to your other note explaining what you don’t seem to be understanding


You can disagree. That doesn't mean the post was for you if you didn't meet the other criteria. They're fiat in my opinion, just like everything in this note is my opinion.


I can react with variety of emojis.
I cannot say, this note is 💩 with a zap.

Onlyzaps is lame and unidirectional.


That's not what I said and you continue to misrepresent me.


Pointless to zap this note.


I’m with nostr:npub12rzunrxvx89f78h4df284lzvkjqetljkq0200p62ygwmjevx0j8qhehrv9. Don’t tell people how to use #Nostr and how to spend there #Bitcoin.


You keep misrepresenting me in every reply I've seen. I'm not talking to any of the people you keep bringing up. I'm saying that people are larpers IF they use zap hype for engagement yet don't actually zap. That's literally the definition of larping.

I'm not shaming anyone other than people who meet THAT description. You are projecting your own meaning onto my post.

Yes, I think the like button is garbage. No, I don't think everyone else has to agree or be shamed UNLESS they are larping for engagement.


If anyone is larping it's Matt.

We are sovereign individuals. We will do as we do and fuck you.

#FreedomOfSpeech


The real larp is a repost… sharing is so cheap…


Depending on the client the "Like" button is so much more than that. I can 🤦🏼 (like I did your note) or 🤔 or 😊 or 🫂 or any number of other things. I use it to express my feelings on something I don't think warrant a full reply. I zap a fair amount, but I don't think every note I want to acknowledge deserves sats.


True that


I should apologize in advance for replying to this notes with my own notes.


:groove:

You are pm the right path. I wish I could share with you the joy my social media is as #OnlyZaps has been my default since it's inception. I see no likes, only comments, reposts and Zaps.

May such a filter be brought to your device, word is Famous is almost ready for the Droid

2 non custodial sats zapped ✅


I've more than cleared up my meaning at this point in other replies but:

Yes, I could probably have been more clear, but I thought I was at the time. It's hard to know until you get feedback.

Yes, I agree that not everyone fits the bill that I tried to make clear in this post, but may have failed at.

No, this post is not for a specific person. It's a general post.

Yes, I think the like button is useless. No, not everyone must agree.

Yes, people can use both, but they also wouldn't fit my intended audience.

No, not EVERYTHING I find useless is fiat. That's an over the top meme that should go away. I'll grant that (someone else mentioned it). Totally own that one.

No, my intention was not to shame people who aren't essentially engagement farming. I could have made that a lot more clear probably, but I thought I did.

I'm going to take some time away from this topic since I'm frustrated by the miscommunication (which could be my own fault, admittedly.)

Thanks, Karnage. Take care.


they're not mutually exclusive and it's not a like button, it's a reaction button

I’ve zapped more than 4M sats and I’m larping? 🤔


This is my gauge too.


Alright. Not a bid deal anyway.


Maybe not, but my way of communicating often misses because I'm too quick on the draw. It's a problem I'm acutely aware of and need to work harder on.


Some thoughts after reading some of the replies:

nostr:nevent1qqsra8vejs009j5q6pwjgpqazfm06yngk5ernz6xlslxx087w5rxmacpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfdupzpl4psmp2geudh3phwp8w6gtqs3hg57q7t7chq4hfhvenssx4hhhjqvzqqqqqqyhcvqgf


Dude, you threw your opinion out there to sniff. We all have something to say and now you are stepping back, saying, "No no I don't communicate well!"

You need to take accountability for what you say and do.

In life and online.


For context and so others may learn:

Yes comrade!

Yes comrade!


Why not both


You are effective in communication.
This notes is well written and conveys the idea.

So did the original note.
You are just backtracking and have really learned nothing.

You have the spine of a politician.


My likes automatically zap using nostr:npub1wxl6njlcgygduct7jkgzrvyvd9fylj4pqvll6p32h59wyetm5fxqjchcan .

I just realised even the "like" button is irreversible on #nostr! 😱

Is this part of the protocol or specific to  nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg

Right on!

I neither liked nor zapped this virtue signal.

nostr:note1hwzrlm0l7e7y2ww8thh4es7f4petglv0wqft59snhh8s6pywt77s5zhqf9


#onlyzaps this is the way. Value for value.


like button is confused I used but feels cheap sometimes I want to zap
like you said minimum amount of zap but I can only zap
default value and cannot change it , so I use like button instead
