 Yeah, nobody wants to be seen zapping something someone else might not like. Conformity without end, enforced by social pressure.

 I've mentioned having hidden zaps (reactions and likes generally) would be a good feature. This could include invisible zapping too I suppose.🤔

It's actually one of the most sensible features Instagram implemented (somewhat coerced into it, but still).

 We actually have private zaps implemented on Amethyst. 🤷‍♀️ Zaps have become mega-public, lately, with zap ratings.

 I think it's fine really. The 'top zappers' thing. It makes sense in the way that YouTube superchats do. Would be cool just to have an option to opt out too. Not really a big deal.

I had no idea amethyst had private zaps tho 👀

 It's fine, but it'll make the dullness duller.
