After getting used to it, I typically use the noStrudel client as my go-to... one thing I've noticed about it that's different from the other more "Twitter-esque" clients like Primal, Snort, etc. is that there's a like AND a dislike button, instead of just heart/like.
Does anyone know if this dislike/downvote button actually gets reflected on other clients in some way if you use it?
It made me realize that one highly underrated thing Nostr provides that has been forcibly taken from us on every other social media platform is the ability to express disagreement or dissent in a way that can't be manipulated or hidden. You can comment, but they can block/filter/delete that too. Maybe the closest thing that still exists is Reddit, but I know there's vote manipulation algorithms they run, so I'm not sure of the degree of honesty.
Interested to hear some other perspectives on this. I feel like downvote functionality is just as important as upvote for true, honest, healthy communication, but I'm not sure if I'm an outlier in that view.
