How many altcoiners are going to buy sats for a ln wallet just to talk about their shitcoin?
I think SN is for bitcoiners wanting to earn and reward others with bitcoin. The filter against shitcoiners is built-in.
We should be careful classifying people who are on the maxi road as toxic shitcoiners. Bitcoin speaks for itself, once you open your mind to it everything else eventually falls away.
Monero, zcash, other privacy coins do still have a role to play today, but their life is limited. Eventually bitcoin engulfs everything, it is not a stagnant technology, lightning and taproot are proof of that.
Lightning apps like Strike are making that barrier so low that shitcoiners will easily find themselves using lightning.
I don't think they can log in with strike though. Removing non-lightning logins should be on the table and will probably happen eventually. There will be a time to just stop accepting inferior money.

With software everything is always on the table. Strike may not support lnauth now, but there's no reason they wouldn't eventually add it. The fact that strike is easy and convenient still doesen't explain why a shitcoiner would go out of their way to peddle their shit to a bunch of maxis on a platform that requires bitcoin.
If your argument is that eventually shitcoiners will be forced to use bitcoin because everyone will require it, then what are you worried about? Wouldn't you look forward to a shitcoiner post at that point just to have a good laugh?
