I have tried to join multiple local and online groups that I thought would be welcoming, but it ended up being 90% ‘there is only one right way to do this using this one specific piece of gear’.
I agree that it really sucks the joy out of creating. I got to point that if people were spouting off ‘only one right way’ I’d try the opposite to see what happens.

It's fucking bullshit, innit?
The most awful thing is that the loudest voices in those circles are often the least productive musically, so they're not even speaking from experience.
Whereas, most actual working musicians I know are the most evangelical, the most inclusive people!
Music is the BEST thing ever - why would anyone want to gatekeep it??
