21 sats \ 5 replies \ @siggy47 6 Sep \ parent \ on: SN is clumsy [and I'm worse] meta
I'm not sure we want this guy around anyway. He seems to have run the gamut politically over the years, settling on libertarianism now. He thrives on attention, and fighting with people online is his main source of entertainment.
Sounds like a few stackers I know ;)

your observation doesn't mean the more general stereotype (boomer facebook refugee) isn't a woefully difficult yet relevant target market
trouble is, I don't think showing someone neither completed argument, nor the context from whence it sprung, is quite as convincing as the accumulated habituation to conversing within specific web UX [or touchscreen app]
"that's a wonderful article, lemme save a copy. thank you for sharing it." blah blah blah, you get replies in your conversation withim and maybe tomorrow he shares the article or even the link, without even registering for this site because wtf is crypto
observation about thriving on attention is good, however the negative feedback of zero zaps on consecutive comments doesn't obviously lead anyone to better behavior. similar dopamine loops could plausibly lead to constructive behavior. I don't want to equivocate "keep stacking sats" with "spend your cowboy credits one by one", although the incentive structures do align.
sorry for "talking at you" ; sometimes courtroom etiquette is better than free speech.

No we surely don't need another darth, haha.

Downzapping doesn't reduce the target's stack. It just reduces their post's visibility.
Keep in mind that you have to downzap more than one sat for it to actually do anything. I was making that mistake for a long time.
