Designers always have a target user group, that they are designing to cater to. If that group is "Furries" or "BitcoinTwitter" or "Fashionistas" or "Bible Thumpers", etc., or something similarly specific, then the software will cater to that group.
You have to decide to cater to a much larger and more heterogenous group, to get a different result. That's why communities are the answer, not asking the BitcoinTwitter people to Bitcoin more quietly in their BitcoinTwitter clients on their BitcoinTwitter relays.
Communities are specifically designed to each appeal to different demographics, without the designer having to aim at that demographic. He just builds a platform, that people can "plug" their community into.
If the Furries want to leave Fediverse and come to Nostr, they should do it into a Fediverse Community. Not land in a BitcoinTwitter community, and be like 😱 Where Furries? while people throw steak at them and tell them to stack sats.

“while people throw steak at them and tell them to stack sats.” 🤣 🤣
We tried to onboard a real-life human female, and she got piled on, by a bunch of memers, and was mass-muted into Nostr nonexistence because she's not a native English speaker and they claimed she writes like a bot. Then I pointed out that our team's sys admin knows her personally, and they were like "Nobody knows him; he's just a scammer."
That doesn't happen, in communities.
Never thought I would ever use the phrase "toxic bitcoiners" in the Bitcoin community, but yes, they are overinfluential in nostr.
Do most communities get along well?
