"Silent Sorrow: The Lonely Jedi” (max 20 collects, to support my gas fees).

Please Read on! 👇

Hello from the #Gas Jail!

I minted my #Lens profile in July 2022. Early on, I’ve interacted with the few available Lens apps intermittently. However, starting in 2023, specifically after all the twitter dramas, I have significantly ramped up my interactions in the Lens ecosystem.   

So far, I’ve tried and interacted on 25 different apps and utilities in the #lensverse in an attempt to explore & help the ecosystem grow.

I try and engage in meaningful discussions, games, & support creators and their creations via mirrors and collects. What I do not do is spam the ecosystem with repetitive or single word posts.

I was surprised to find myself on the other side of the #GasJail couple of days ago, meaning I can no longer post/collect/comment/mirror without paying gas fees on Lenster and I cannot use @Orb, @Buttrfly, @Phavar or other socials app in the Lens ecosystem. I did try to get in touch with team members and had raised several queries in Lens discord without success.

Whilst the gas fees is not prohibitively high, they do add up. And it’s not a question of $, but the question of fairness. If the protocol cannot cope, you can try:

🌿 Implementing a maximum number of interactions per day for All Account 🌿Restricting repetitive and single word posts/comments 🌿 Restricting number of mirrors on posts. With less than 100k active users, post visibility is not critical yet. 🌿Charging gas on posts with paid collects

 It is understandable that the platform’s priority is heavily skewed towards content creators. But that does not justify putting up a paywall for the rest of the community. And ironically, when I scroll through my feed, I do not see any less amount of “low quality” posts, meaning the algorithm is not necessarily targeting the right accounts.

I will try and limit my engagements until the issue is resolved. Hope we get a solution soon.

Have a great day everyone!
