6 sats \ 7 replies \ @denlillaapan 13 Jul \ parent \ on: CCs need to be removed from the site meta

My mental accounting is that they're 0.7-ish of a sat:

  • strictly worse than a sat bc it's trapped here and can only be spent here.
  • not worthless, since it pays for posts and the "zapping" gets you a slice of the (ever-shrinking) rewards pool — which does pay out in real sats

i care more about spam. what is really necessary is to have a cost attached to posting.

there are three users on this website and i already see bots and spam, just like the rest of the internet.

Bots and spammers don't tend to stick around too long because they don't get zaps.

with freebies, i can create an unlimited number of accounts. the reason it's not being done is because there are 3 users on the website. but i already see spam posts here and it's very sad for me because it's the only website that feels like the old internet and i don't want it to fail.

this is bad because new posters might not know about that. imagine if everyone has that enabled. it should just not be a thing.

I think they are hidden by default, so it's not a problem for new users.

Tons, yeah. And compared to rest of the internet, this is costly and annoying.

Still, here are the bots.

(My impression is that they don't stay long, don't have much impact)
