Damus’ goal from day one has always been to give individuals complete control over the types of interactions they want to have. Algorithms, users, and advertisers do not have authority over individual preferences.
If a user doesn’t want to receive zaps, they can not add a lightning address to their profile. Now if they don’t want to receive likes, they can turn them off.
In the future users will also be able to turn off replies unless they are subject to certain conditions, such as if they are friends or only zap comments.
If you don’t like users who use these features, you don’t have to follow them. I still think you should try to respect users preferences even if you disagree with them. Just my 2 sats ✌️

I love the focus on empowering users. By 'turn off replies' do you mean 1) allow damus users to prevent seeing replies to their own notes 2) send metadata in the note that expresses their wish for no replies / only replies from a subset of users that clients can choose to respect or not 3) remove the option from damus to reply to these messages / view replies to original author does not?
Excited for how this is shaping up. Finally the value will accrue to the network!
