Maybe I'm petty, but if I've zapped someone dozens of times and never received a single zap from them, I'm done zapping them. It's not that I don't get value, it's that .. fuck them.

Right? You get what I'm saying. It's not like I'm a fan of some big celebrity who won't notice me tossing pennies at them frequently. It's the principle of the matter. It lets one know it hasn't gone unnoticed, or something. I dunno, it's how I felt when I posted the note. Whatever.

Maybe beat me at word5 instead of tieing if you want a zap so bad. I will admit if I click to zap someone and it doesn't work first try I make 0 effort on my end these days.

I know you do. Kinda regretting the post now as it's now far and away my most zapped note and I'm not even in the mood to review who replied or zapped it, lol. Was just a throw away comment

Lol, nothing of the sort. I don't consider myself a net contributor of "signal," but on with such a small user base if it's completely asymmetric it does feel like shitty behavior. I realize it's petty, make no bones about it, but it's how I feel about it.

Yeah... I don't like how much engagement I'm getting from this post lol. Does your client do deletes?

Tekkadan ๐Ÿ“ฒ๐Ÿ„๐ŸŒ12d ago
It does not yet but it will offer both "delete requests" per whatever event deletion NIP exists and will also handle NIP-86 deletion via API provided you operate your own relays (and that your relays support NIP-86)

Read it as maybe I'm pretty at first ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿ’… I love engagement and the "conversation". I try to zap things that evoke emotion, or zap people who zapped me. I like using and receiving the custom reacts ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ. I'm also a big fan of you do you boo ๐Ÿ˜˜...but if you're whoring for sats and not passing some around, hard pass...

Agree with all that. Was thinking of a handful of small accounts, and should have probably kept it to myself, but yolo and who cares. If I find myself wondering, "does their wallet even work?," and find out it does, then I'm left to assume they either feel entitled or don't notice. In either case, I guess I'd rather stop.

Meant to be just a shit post, honestly. But yeah, if it feels like a _completely_ one-way street, given how small the network here is, it's gonna leave a sour taste imo.

I'm willing to bet they are leeches, but there is the possibility that they don't see your content as valuable. ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ

YODL12d ago
Haha, I appreciate the honesty. I don't pretend my content is very valuable. Funny at times, but that's mostly it. It's the feeling of leeching I dislike. A simple one-off acknowledgement zap to let me know the many I'd sent were seen is all I'm asking. The network is too small for that not to be just good manners, imo.
0000 sats
Troy12d ago
I can see that. I've also wished I could see a zap ratio between me and other, but since I also have my zaps set to "private" in my main client, that won't work.

The beauty is in the giving! But if you are expecting something in return, refrain from giving. Because then it is not giving, it is expecting, and trapping the other into the expectation. And that is not at all beautiful. Itโ€™s like sex, really.

Your life, your SATs ๐Ÿ™ƒ simply do as you feel. But try not to take it personallyโ€”thereโ€™s no point in getting frustrated or angry. You never know why people donโ€™t zap back. Honestly, I think even as low as 21 SAT says more than a like, which is why it's my 'standard' but everyoneโ€™s different. And, either way, youโ€™ll get zaps from someone eventually. I kinda see it as an exchange/circulation: like, Iโ€™ll zap you, you might not zap back (which is totally fine), but chances are someone somewhere will zap me anyway. Not trying to lecture you or anything, just sharing how I see itโ€”and sending some zaps your way too ๐Ÿ’ชโšก g'day

It's not that important, interaction more meaningful anyway. I clarified in some of the comments how I meant it, and sort of regret the post ๐Ÿ˜…

Yes, and for some accounts who put lots of time or value out there, I'm mostly fine with it. It's just once in a while you think about a small account and feel miffed, on principle. Petty, like I said, but I tend to trust my gut on such things even if it isn't "high minded"

I think it's like I am buying your attention. The zap can be very meaningful. I mean 23 sats means something very special to some here. Ps jack notices zaps. I hit him the day he announced the layoffs. I like to think that it was a moment of kindness in a shit day
0000 sats
YODL12d ago
Sometimes, for larger accounts (lol, on nostr it's kinda a silly concept), I see it that way. Not sure I've ever zapped Jack. In my defense, he rarely posts since I've been on here, and his posts are usually short and cryptic. Oh, and he's also a billionaire. I assumed he would NOT notice them for these reasons. That's sorta sweet that he does notice them (I trust you to know this, would not have guessed).

Yarnlady ๐Ÿงถ12d ago
Nah, let it out. I think it's nothing most of us haven't thought before, it was nicely put and not terribly targeted. I've received some fat (to me) zaps for some yarn stuffs I've put up...I've literally cried because of it, I've also cried because of the nice things people have said about things with no zaps ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ. I try to be generous, and I also try to be kind (mostly ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿคญ)

Lol, I think I'd need upward of 100M sats to cry over a zap. Such a girl! But I get your point. You're very zappy, and it's fun. I don't even try to keep a mental tally with you. I'm literally referring to someone who not a single time sends a lil something back. It's just rude or oblivious, and in either case makes sense to cease on my end ๐Ÿคท

It's a many-layered topic, no doubt. Sometimes your gut just tells you, "eff that person" though, and that's where I was coming from.

Also, don't regret how you feel. It's true and we have ALL felt that in some form since we've been here. I cringe when I still see the occasional lightning invoice post.

YODL12d ago
Ha, don't regret the feeling, maybe the post slightly, but only because it seemed to get more attention than I wanted (relative to my other posts), and it was one of my more whiny posts lol. Was just a passing thought and felt like sending it out ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Yeah, I'm audio-ing it already lol. You talked me into it without even trying, and I'm now rereading (audio this time), as I mentioned, and going at quite the clip. On door 2 of that book already.

Don't really apply to most of those engaging lol. But I guess it's relatable. I'm definitely cutting off a few one-way zapping relationships.
