By the same token, I don’t love using “plebs” to refer to ourselves.

I see it as humour.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You know – the same way that people in the Bitcoin and Nostr circles often call each other ‘retards’. They don’t REALLY think that the people here have intellectual disabilities. It’s just a joke. In fact, I think that many people here consider themselves very clever.

And I don’t think that anyone outside of the Bitcoin and Nostr circles refers to you, me or somebody else in these circles as “a pleb” or as “a retard”. At least I hope they don't 😂

But it would be fun to know if "a normie"/newbie, who has just started to use Nostr, sees it differently.

It's one of those things where the humour that was a fit for the wave of early adopters won't be a fit for the early majority
