 I mostly just find the slogans boring to listen to lol. 
 As all the slogans, "everyone buy bitcoin at the price they merit" cant represent an absolute truth, but a large approximation and euristic. 

I like a lot this slogan because I find that its a good approximation (correct in most of the cases) AND its also a lot controversial. Most people dont accept it and, applying some game theory, they have all the (communist) reasons to affirm that its just false.

Its not perfectly correct, but after all the complains, its mostly correct. Even if it hurts. 
 A social media full of sloganeering is boring tho. Surely? People's tolerances for it varies too, as you can see from a lot of the comments of people who join and leave quite quickly. 
 nostr is freedom, thats nothing that forces slogans in feeds. The cure for that situation is "more non-slogan contents".
Having "less slogan-contents" or "more anti-slogan complaints" dont change anything; you can opt-out from them in any moment, they cant hurt you.

Slogan in my opinion are inevitable, is a social field where community review continuosly what informations are propagated and rejected (most memes are just slogans, compact ways to encapsulate and trasmit simple messages to much people).
Slogans tells a lot about a community, and if it works well, his slogans would be never totally incorrect, but mostly correct in all the cases (and ever cringe).
Bitcoin maxis slogans are in my opinion high quality mostly correct euristics, and its good to have them. 
 I think it is inevitable, I also think the frequency of it turns people off. Yes, you can mute them or ignore them. A lot of people won't do either, they'll just leave. Just seems to be what happens. I'm not arguing against the possibility of slogans having truths in them. I think it is a problem for clients/devs/people active in growth to grapple with rather than me. It's just the situation ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ 
 yeah, I also would love to see the variety of human perspective that other social can offer. I think this situation will be fixed by more people joining here, in the meantime solutions like cobrafuma.com are super cool to welcome people in a place that is not "a bitcoin twitter more retarded" 
 Hmm. Yes.

I'm aware that I have some advantages, that make my life easier. Like being unusually smart and well-read. I don't judge other people for not having them.

 Its not about judging, is just not be communist. Do you donate the more resources you can earn monthly cause of your unusually super talents? Would you do if some random guy point a finger to you saying that dont merit the resources you have cause you "won the lottery"? 
Thats the exact same thing as pointing your finger to the private property of OGs bitcoiner, and its communist and disrespectful.
