Isn't self-zapping the same as boosting now? I thought that was part of the recent changes...

isn't self zapping more efficient than boost?

self zapping you get 70% of your sats back, relative to boost, if I understand correctly. and 91% back if you're the territory owner

But only if “boost” didn’t exist either.

Ah, but this is the problem: what stops a stacker from self-zapping? If there is no boost, why not just create a second account and zap your own post with it?

How would we make sure that bad posts aren't zapped by their own authors?

This is the main reason there is a sybil fee on SN. So that when such self-zapping happens, it is at least costly to the self-zapper.

Boost being a thing is just SN making that flow more convenient so that it's not only available to power users.

I think also that this is why most social media uses trust tools like karma or merit or they use an algorithm which is basically the platform telling people what they should look at...or they kyc.

Money is a moderator is an experiment in something different, but it certainly hasn't solved the problem. I appreciate your insights and patience.

Why are you so scared of opposing views that you pay to hide them?
