Was @davidw's masterpiece the all-time zapping record-holder? I guess I could take this as a good GraphQL project :)
Not sure you need to do that…

Close but no cigar 🤠

Ha - yours is the highest-earning "content" post. The others are fundraisers, a sybil, and one cool price chart link.
So maybe not literally, but, like, spiritually. Nice work :)
(Also: I somehow have been here for like 8 months or so and never noticed that "top" tab. Jesus.)

Appreciate it. There’s features that I’ve missed too.
For example the ‘list’ icon next to the title, shows you all the Headlines of a post. Useful for marathon reads like that one.
One day I wonder if ‘Hot’ will be combined with ‘Top’. Given we may have a ‘For You’ custom curation up there.

Ah satraisers, those are great! We should do more!

I agree. How could I start one myself?

I’ve just created a zap-raiser in another form for Jack, after he lost his brother:
#329220
(Not sure there’s a preferred format, but any sats I get I’ll send his way Monday morning)
reply
Thanks for sharing. I'll create another one and send it to them.

Just playing around. I want to do some data analysis on SN and need to get the data to do it.

You're free to do whatever you want, of course, but why? You said it once. Presumably you were okay with it mapping it to your nym. What's different?
There are use cases for ephemeral content, probably everyone here knows that. But having only ephemeral content is a bad deal.
Actually, this might make a good SN post.

I think so, too.

These are good responses, it's given me a lot to noodle on. I'll post something about it soonish I think.
not sure exactly what you mean, mapping to my nym. elaborate?
I think you answered this indirectly, but basically: you say things in public for all to see. Every time you post or comment, you're agreeing (explicitly or implicitly) to have the post or comment associated, publicly, with your nym (the person "nemo" appears to be), to whoever happens to read it.
Now I think I can simulate your response to that:
"I made the comments in passing, in the flow of a conversation, knowing that people would read them. But that's different from having those comments floating out there for all of time, available to people who were not in the flow of that conversation."
It raises some interesting philosophical issues about what we're even doing here, and what affordances could support that.

I think it means that we're all just guests on the internet and no one is entitled to anything except maybe spam :)
