true. i am shielded a lot from the direct contact with the community and it's been fascinating just how many people are on thet edge that i'm just a tippy-toe across that boundary outside the in-crowd. i aimed towards this kind of circumstance, even when i spent 2 years working for a shitcoin-based startup, who was dabbling in nostr much to my fortune, i didn't have to deal directly, except for contract negotiation interviews such as with the founders of arweave and internet computer protocol.

i wish i could do something more to help you get some more comfortable distance from them, but as you know, persuading big money to pay attention to nostr is extremelly difficult, so you are stuck being between the customers (who are slow to arrive due to the silly ideas in the main powers that be marketing and funding nostr dev) and those silly people with their self-contradictory positions.
