nostr:npub1evlasggt6pl44vxp49fns8cjy2xxqgfk6akqqrwkqa4rj588xmhqt6yenf I truly despise the gatekeeping that comes along with a lot of these groups. 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.
