I think it’s important to separate enthusiasm and monothought from devs and cheerleaders and for those devs not to be scared of upsetting that core user base of cheerleaders who’s makeup I estimate about:

20% genuinely into nostr

30% bitcoin maxis

50% moonbois who larp as maxis

When I hear devs get defensive about these critiques that couldn’t just be about devs (people who spend more time working on the protocol than using it) what I see is them sticking their necks out for the moonbois and that’s sad. That’s the source of aesthetic tension that I believe keeps people behind me in line away from using these tools, and to have that being reflected in the product is a non-starter for anyone more normal.
