lol I'm always surprised when ppl have that perception. I've frequently felt like I didn't belong here because:
1. I'm not libertarian
2. I don't suck pmarca's toes
3. I think nfts are about as interesting as any other datastructure
4. I'm not e/acc

Just those 4 have frequently been enough to make me feel out of place

I don‘t count myself as part of them. Let me be straussian and say: I think my membership has been tested and I was rejected because I‘m an enfant terrible that poses too much risk upon entry. Given that you have 5k more followers and since you present as fairly „brand-safe,“ you‘re more in than me.
