Agreed, honestly. The not so subtle in-group-out-group type virtue signaling language was one of the first things to give me the Heebie Jeebies. "We the open source developers working on it". It always has this vague appeal to authority vibe. And this is not to say that I don't deeply appreciate the people who give their time to developing all kinds of open source software, particularly Bitcoin. But as someone who has donated both directly and through organizations (but always anonymously) to support the open source developers who spend their time on these projects, I am definitely thinking more deeply before pulling the trigger on such things now and in the future.
