Thanks for ya text its very good stuff! this is translate in german ;) i support this

Danke! 🙏

This is my original text in Italian: Su Nostr il like è un gesto leggero, quasi decorativo, anch'io ne abuso molto, ma sinceramente non sposta davvero nulla. Non costruisce memoria, non porta lontano un’idea, non lascia traccia nel tempo. I repost, invece, sono mani che prendono un contenuto e lo rimettono in cammino. È lì che Nostr respira: la rete non ti premia perché piaci, ma perché circoli. Se nessuno rilancia, anche la cosa più vera resta muta. E poi ci sono gli zap. Quelli non mentono. Sono valore espresso senza metafore, attenzione che diventa costo, tempo che diventa scelta. Uno zap dice: questa cosa per me vale. Non è consenso, è responsabilità. Qui sta la differenza, nuda e un po’ scomoda: sugli altri social il like è una carezza a basso prezzo su Nostr contano solo gli atti che rischiano qualcosa. Per questo i like servono a poco. Sono rumore di fondo, utili forse all’ego, non al protocollo. Se vogliamo incidere, dobbiamo condividere o sostenere. Il resto è silenzio travestito da applauso. Dirlo non è cinico. È solo guardare Nostr per quello che è: non un posto dove essere approvati, ma un luogo dove far circolare valore.

This is 🔥 It’s important to hear creators on Nostr talking this way 🚀 View quoted note →

I love Nostr for this, and yet I too Love posts frequently. I guess I do it from a relationship building standpoint. Others can see we’re like minded and I have no desire to share the post. View quoted note →

Ich sag mal so... "Das deutsche Sprichwort "den Nagel auf den Kopf treffen" wird auf Englisch mit mehreren idiomatischen Ausdrücken wiedergegeben, je nach Kontext und Nuance: to hit the nail on the head – am häufigsten verwendeter Ausdruck, bedeutet: genau richtig liegen, den Kern einer Sache treffen. to hit the bull's eye – ebenfalls gebräuchlich, besonders in sportlichen oder zielgerichteten Kontexten. You nailed it! – informeller, aber sehr gebräuchlicher Ausdruck, um jemanden zu loben, der genau richtig liegt. to be right on the money – betont, dass eine Aussage oder Entscheidung exakt richtig ist. to be dead on – informell, bedeutet: völlig richtig, treffsicher. Beispiel: Du hast den Nagel auf den Kopf getroffen! → You hit the nail right on the head! "

It is a game changing concept & why I really like nostr ( no centralised technocrat stealing the value of someone's post / creation) ... takes time though for this to be embraced and adopted

A zap is a more sincere, more heartfelt like; Nostr may not have invented kindness, but it made it tangible.

What are your thoughts on comments?

Comments are participation, and I particularly appreciate them when they are constructive criticism and not just chatter.

I dont feel I can 'like' your things anymore 🤣🤣

🤣🤣🫂🎨

Yes and no. Likes are like "read receipts". At least you know that your post was seen. The attention economy is a bitch that can make one feel like one is merely shouting into the void. I totally agree that reposts are way more important on NOSTR than on the centralized alternative, X. It would be nice if NOSTR clients could have "scheduled" posts and reposts for that reason. Posts get the most attention when they're near the top of the feed so a scheduled post/repost feature could help but in all likelihood it would just get abused by the douchebag, self-serving bot runners. Zaps are nice but NOSTR is also a shit show where devs do whatever the fuck they want. Coordination seems to be treated as a watered down form of centralization and User Experience is sacrificed on the altar of Eric Cartman, i.e. "I'll do what I want!" Devs need to make NOSTR easier to use for those of us who have not spent the last 10 years immersed in code daily. Instead they prefer to vibe code new shit constantly and flip the bird to those lacking in technical proficiency. It's sad, but not surprising, as coders, generally speaking, prefer the company of computers to people and, as such, do not care to alpha test their developments with normies and noobs which is necessary to bridge the chasm.

Interactions on nostr should always increase visibility. Boost is explicit: i want my followers to see this. Quote is as explicit. Comment can mean many things but I would like to see what my follows reply to. The standard right now is to either not show any replies or focus on my follows' replies. I think there should be a third way: show me content several of my follows replied to. Reactions: it would be nice to also surface what my follows "liked". Zaps: this is the big one! If my follows give more than x to some content, I might care more than if they metely boosted it. Or maybe we should have zapped boosts?

P.S. Remember if it’s worth a Like, Comment, ReNote, or QuoteNote; it’s worth a #zap View quoted note →

Well said

Great food for thought. I'm still relatively new here so I don't really understand how it works and how people get noticed on here. So it's helpful to get insights from others who have a better idea of the way nostr functions.

I'd use a client that didn't show me likes at all and liked every note I read. Not sure if that's some metadata I wouldn't want leaked but at first thought it seems like a good idea. Changing liked to read.

Reposts are the lifeblood of any social network

A client could treat 'likes' as stamp-like bookmarks.

I agree with this. A like a still a way to say “i read it, i saw it”

Man this hits hard. Ive been mindlessly hitting like for so long but you just made me realize how shallow that is. On Nostr, we’re not just chasing ego we’re moving value. A Repost is the fuel, and a Zap is the real respect. Thanks for waking me up with this. This is the kind of truth that actually makes the network breathe. I'm definitely sharing this one

Thanks 🙏

Youre most welcome! 🤝 Its truly an honor to receive a Zap from you. Your insights really added value to my day. Looking forward to more of your amazing thoughts!

I would say that here, likes can function more as a way to show in a simpler way what a publication made you feel, since many clients even allow you to upload your own emojis or make your own, which can serve as Facebook reactions. or discord.

Agreed. Perhaps, to borrow physics nomenclature, the type of like/reaction/emoji used offers the "direction" of the response and the zap offers the "magnitude" of the response? I've thought for a little while now that there must be an option to integrate a set of emojis into my @Jumble experience but I don't know how so I've just been doing without. I have the ability to like/react to posts using various emojis but I don't know how to incorporate them into the text of my posts that I compose.

Exactly! Recognition is echo. Action is origin. And value exists only when it is carried -not applauded. View quoted note →

If you type : in the composer, you should see your emojis You’re right though, the experience around this isn’t very polished yet, and it’s something I definitely need to improve.

Thanks. I tried that just now but all that happened is the : showed up. Is there something else that I have to do first? Like, do I have to go somewhere and download a set of emojis or something? Browser issue? (I'm using Brave)

If you’ve added emoji packs in other clients before, then in theory those emojis should show up when you type : . That said, there might be a bug here, I occasionally run into cases where the emoji list doesn’t appear either. If you haven’t added any emoji packs yet, you can add some under settings → emoji packs

Thanks. I tried scrolling through them to look for the normal emoji set, i.e. the set that everyone everywhere uses, not the custom weird sets. Couldn't find it and, as far as I could tell, I scrolled all the way to the bottom. I think I tried this before and ran into the same issue...probably why I just went without. If I was technically proficient enough, I'd add a normal set of emojis but I'm not, so I guess I'll keep going without emojis in my posts until someone else decides that the normal set of emojis is worth having.

You mean you want to use the standard Unicode emojis? You can just type them using your system’s emoji keyboard 🤔

Yes, and I have no idea what my system's emoji keyboard is. I'm used to every other social media form where they just give you an emoji button that opens a pop up where you can scroll and select the emoji you want to use. Are you saying emojis can be typed using something akin to "hot keys" and that I should memorize a bunch of hot keys?

If you’re on a non-touch device, there’s an emoji picker button in the editor. On a touch device, your virtual keyboard should have an emoji picker button.

Thanks. I'm using a laptop but I don't have an emoji button.

Looks like it’s being detected as a touch device. Check if your browser has any touch-related settings 🤔

I’ll adjust the detection logic a bit later 🫡

Thanks. It's technically a touchscreen laptop but I don't ever use it that way. It sits across the room and I use a wireless keyboard and mouse to operate it. I tried looking in the browser settings for Brave but didn't see anything like that. Brave search AI results weren't exactly helpful either. I tried searching "touch" within a Brave settings tab but got no results.

I agree that sharing and zapping are more powerful for disseminating values, but I don't necessarily agree that likes are good for almost nothing. A like says, "Someone noticed my work." Which is encouraging. And encouragement isn't nothing . View quoted note →
