90 sats \ 8 replies \ @k00b 7 May 2022 \ on: Daily discussion thread
@paul mentioned that it'd be nice to have an indicator on 'jobs' in the navbar when a new job is added.
I'm trying to think of a way that we can do this without being spammy, especially for logged in users (whom I love more 😘). It would also need to work for lurkers.
Would it be too much to have an indicator every time there's a new job posted since you last visited ~jobs? Perhaps you could turn it off in settings.
That'd be the simplest thing to do. For lurkers I'd store the last visited in local storage.
Great idea, and agree that this solution makes sense.
One more point on notifications, I think the 1 sat comment fees should go to the original poster/commenter who is being replied to. Every time I get a notification, I anticipate receiving sats... but on occasion, it's just a reply with no sats attached.
Lightning allows us to set a price on attention, no user should be distracted by a notification without sats attached.

The main problem I have with this is
- the payment scheme goes from trivial to complex to describe
- if a user creates sock puppet account, they can reply to their other accounts for free, an unlimited amount of times
On point (1), if Alice creates a post, Bob replies to Alice, and then Carol replies to Bob. Who do Carol's sats go to? Bob? If Alice replies to Bob, do Alice's sats go to Bob? Right now we have a simple rule - the sats go to the site. I can describe it in one sentence. IMO that has a bunch of value.
Also, I get a ton of random questions on here. With this scheme I would be paying to answer users' questions (as would any other user helping another user), which is backwards. At least with the current scheme, the sats go somewhere trusted that redistributes those sats to other trusted sources.

yeah, there is a lot of value in the simplicity of the current scheme… i just wish it allowed me to use sats to protect my time & attention. this concept is already being used by reacher & vida, and it makes a ton of sense.
fiat never allowed us to earn for seconds or minutes of our time, lightning does. ‘no free distractions’ seems like a simple way of describing this policy.
the way i envision it is whoever creates a post should get sats for direct replies, and if i reply to a comment, payments should go to the person i’m directly replying to.
if you’re getting questions in response to your posts, you’d be earning sats based on the rate you set for replies. perhaps the same rule could be applied to tagging users too, so if someone tags you in their question, they need to pay to get your attention.

Down the road, it might even be worth exploring the ability for users to set their own reply fees.
Ex. Imagine a celebrity posting an original piece of content on SN (perhaps a blog post). They may want to limit all comments on their posts unless it comes with a fee of 100 or 1,000 sats.
reply
Yes, I imagine a celeb wanting to set a higher sat barrier to prevent spam. This is something I've considered adding for awhile.
reply
Another option might be to provide sort by new functionality. Current layout is great to gamify jobs for those who want the most visibility but less ideal for job seekers who check in less frequently and want to see what's been posted since they last checked.
reply
There's a 'recent' for jobs like the main page. 'recent' is contextual, meaning if you're on the ~jobs sub 'recent' is ~jobs/recent
reply
ahhh somehow my eyes completely missed that!
