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.

/nouns is exactly that — you need a noun to vote but not to be part of the community. I’d argue that @pudgypenguins is as well — toys and pudgy world are expanding the community beyond the holders. Doodles also. It is possible!

I agree, but I’d argue that one of the biggest challenges with access—even in communities like /Nouns—is the lack of accessible information on how to participate. We can definitely do a better job of broadcasting opportunities to those outside our cozy circles. For example, just yesterday, I spoke with a builder who’s been around for a while but had no idea that anyone beyond holders could use the Noggles and participate. I have some ideas on how we could better inform and engage people, but finding a comprehensive solution is still a work in progress.
