Web3 communities where you need an NFT/token to participate make the trade off of growth + inclusion by keeping it small and special.   Does a medium option exist?  How can you keep it special but also grow as a culture?   I'm nervous we're shooting ourselves in the foot at scale

I strongly agree with this sentiment. Communities with token/NFT barriers can feel exclusive, but that can limit growth and inclusion. It’s like a walled garden—beautiful, but isolated. There must be room for a middle ground: keeping the core intact while creating pathways for education and access. A culture can stay special while still welcoming new voices. Vacuums don’t spark change, and staying too closed off risks missing out on fresh perspectives.

I responded to @breadcat with this: A gated community that allows you to participate by allowing free engagement with members, but special perks are reserved for holders. Is that what you would consider a "medium option?"

What are your thoughts? 

I like your garden reference. I would say that all people should be able to look at the garden and talk to the gardeners in the garden, but not all people should be allowed to step in and plant. That should be reserved for the ones you know have committed something. I realize this is not a perfect solution because someone can commit something and still mess your garden, up. 😁Hedgehog buying a garden NFT just to eat all your plants. Damn hedgehog!
