Likes have created attention addiction 1000%, but online interaction is nuanced - we're humans. I share a joke on nostr, seeking validation as a funny guy. What's better: a reply, a zap, a laughing emoji, or nothing? Perhaps the question is moot - humans like to shoot the shit. even trivial engagement is valid imo, it help humans connect and find themselves. I won't die on this hill, I just don't think theres and easy answer.
