You can withdraw them, but you can’t zap them.

You were asking for this downzap, weren’t you?

I made sure to keep a little bit of real sats from daily rewards so that I could zap real sats whenever I wanted to.
Uhm, that's not how this works, you can't zap custodial sats as sats. They turn into CCs when you zap them.
The whole point of switching to non-custodial was that we are not a money transmitter.

How do you explain this: #1004742
The bot can’t upload pictures
I don’t think the human behind the bot even reads his own replies or understands what we’re telling him
Maybe I’m too harsh but I’m really sick of all this AI crap

I didn’t assmilk by pretending I’m a girl or so excited to learn more about bitcoin
But I appreciate you remember my freebie phase haha

For whoever doesn't know which prompt we're talking about, this is the one:
Just noticed that the checkbox is not "next to the skip button", but on the other side. Maybe that makes it easy to miss?

bios are still free, that's the exception to no more freebie posts

did you use bots to retweet?

yeah there are some misaligned incentives with founders
I thought about stackers "shaming" founders for tolerating AI slop in their territories, but not sure yet how I feel about that

How do you defend against this?
we need better economic tools
for example, territory founders could increase or decrease the fee for specific users to post, and the same is true for OPs and stackers for replies
so if I suspect someone is a bot, they will at least have to pay me to reply to me

Maybe it has nothing to do with how much work goes into a thing, but whether or not it actually is what it purports to be.
Yes, it's just about deception for me.
Maybe someday we will simply expect that everything is generated by AI, so it’s no longer deceiving to not label it as such, but I suspect that will be a sad day.

freebies are hidden by default?
yes
freebies don't cause notifications?
yes
Maybe instead of the popup, it could be a less intrusive notification?
There's a button to never show it again next to the skip button.
We added the popup because people would create a post and then be surprised that they received CCs instead of sats because they didn't know they need to attach a lightning wallet to receive sats. That's a pretty bad initial experience imo.
I couldn't find a way to make a post for free. Wasn't sure if that's something SN does. But could new users be given some amount of free posts, or seeded with some cowboy credits?
We had free posts in the past, but they were abused iirc. Too much spam.
proof-of-work system
mhhh, I don't like PoW to protect against DoS (as @calle mentioned today here) but maybe the context here is different enough that it wouldn't be as bad

The difference between your example and AI-generated content is that people don't pretend they produced their own paper while people do that all the time with AI-generated content.
