You right and to be clear I’m not saying we should keep people out. It’s just that in my experience trying to get my people onboarded it’s the initial cold water plunge into the bitcoin community that is preventing a lot of people from sticking with it. I’m just saying we should be sensitive to this and other kinds of feedback in order to create a space for normies to try building out their communities and stick around instead of indoctrinating them into the whole freedom! freedom freedom right off the bat…

I agree wholeheartedly here. New people join and a bot tells them to get a lightning address if they don't have one and a dozen other people tell them to setup a lightning address so that they can get zapped. It's not bad, it's just that the enthusiasm is a little bit much for some people. I would rather have bitcoin enthusiasm than no enthusiasm though.

Know what kind of bar you're entering and adjust your expectations accordingly.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: nostr is a gay bar and it doesn't matter how great the beer is, or the furniture, or the pictures on the wall. If you're not gay you won't stay around for long.
