This has always bothered me. I find self described Bitcoin moderates really tedious sometimes when they complain about maximalism - it just sounds so self serving to me, but it's always framed as though they're helping the community and/or adoption.

I don't block them or entirely stop listening to some of their well made, and usually still good, podcasts. But it makes me cringe sometimes.

Having said that, I'm probably moderate on a lot of things (for now). But being moderate for the sake of it is 100% about social positioning. Likewise, adopting maximalist positions in order to fit in without thinking them through is dumb, but less of a fame grab usually.
