I like the idea of the #GrowNostr hashtag, but a better way would be to make relays that disallow talking about Bitcoin or hand-curated accounts that don't talk about Bitcoin, then use something like the new Coracle relay browser to point newcomers to these relays where they can easily find people to follow and topics to discuss.

The hashtag could have its own nip backend where the creator can assign other owners, admins and moderators, like a chatroom that posts to the main timeline. You are only allowed to post to the hashtag if you're following the rules and haven't been banned, and your posts can be marked by the mods as inappropriate.

Someone flamed at me about grownostr "you don't own this hashtag" which is true but it would be nice if someone did.

This doesn't work. Who is going to enforce all these rules? It requires changes in all clients. We can't do it.

What we can do is do the same thing with relays. Relays, unlike hashtags, have a clear owner: https://coracle.social/relays/d3NzOi8vcmVsYXkuc3RvbmVyLmNvbQ==
