I like this note

Yessir. I like the odd rocket to the moon emoji... but ZAPS is the bees knees.

I love this

Sooooo…. Never, like… Like?

Dakota liked this post!

Disagree. Keep using likes! It’s good for the soul.

Yes, they are weak sauce and relics, but man the more people hate on them, the more I kinda wanna like-spam harder. 😂

Actually, I’m most excited for negative zaps. I’ll probably stop using likes then. I would love for clients to allow me to downvote an idea but still zap for the contribution or have the zaps go to opensats or a prism or something else.

This is the most engaged note I’ve made in months! And it’s a nostr meta post! How about some of you like and zap my real attempts to provide value?

I agree 👍

Noooo. Like my posts, it makes me feel good...

🤙 if I put this emoji as a comment or as a like it's still communication. Maybe clients don't display the different emojis as likes in the way amethyst does but for me the likes are just a way to quickly communicate without having to do the extra taps of adding a comment. Plus, it's not really useful in most cases for others to read a comment with a singular emoji more of a direct feedback to whoever wrote the note. That being said, likes are a shitcoin I agree.

we are used to empty praise and making things about us. I've seen this scene many times: a child creates something and an adult says "it's beautiful, I really liked it", without really paying attention to the creation and the child. and that's how we relate. We don't go out of our comfort zone to really pay attention to other people's creations, to really let ourselves be touched by them. and we don't go out of our comfort zone to tell someone how that affects us instead of making it about us or someone else who needs to be validated and recognized. for me it is hard because I'm always afraid of saying things that doesn't really matter. but that fear comes from that dynamic, I guess. and your comment invited me to say something and think about my own behavior.
