#onlyzaps adds friction to effortless interactions. this is actually a *good* thing. there's nothing wrong with clients avoiding effortless reactions alltogether. so far non-quote reposts and reactions are on my "i will get to them eventually but it's not a priority, because it currently *feels* better when I'm using a client without them". yes its opinionated... yes its less capability than other clients, but sometimes taking things away makes it better as a whole.

I feel more comfortable doing this now when there are more clients and they all have reactions. I am not denying this right from anyone. If they want it they can take notedeck and fork it.
I’ve been on Only zaps for a long time. I like it. But honestly, I set my zaps to 3sats default, because I zap way more while on it.
Original only zaps was that way and the pushback was real so you gave people their like button but just made it so I can’t see their reactions. It was superior!
Not sure what you mean? No not a troll. I turned off only zaps ⚡️ to take this screenshot. I can see your like button although you are on only zaps. Meaning I can like your post, but you won’t see it. Would be cool if it goes away. Maybe I’m not explaining my self well. image
This is what the first version of onlyzaps was. There was a huge backlash and people were saying i’m taking away their freedom to react. I was like… whats the point of reacting if they can’t see your reaction. They said it was for other people and for themselves, so i restored it. People really don’t like when you take away a capability
For the first week or so but the pushback/blowback was severe! People did NOT like having their instant gratification ability to like taken from them by the only zap maxis
it was very illuminating. there was basically a revolt. i realized some people do likes *for themselves* and they don't care if the person sees it or not. its like a dopamine thing ?
Wow... dopamine, or society breeds narcissism that badly that they think their opinion matters that much, even if people can't see it... wow, that makes me shake my head a bit.... and fist angerly in the air.
Nostr clients should be opinionated. It’s one of the beauties of open protocols.
I’ve noticed when people quote repost, they will get zaps, often only adding emojis to the original content. If I’m reposting and have nothing to add, I would rather the zaps go to the person I’m reposting. Otherwise, I would just steal their content (which I do)
