I'm not entirely sure whats a good approach because there are multiple possibilities with nostr and I'm not so deep into it. You can search for hashtags and follow the content you like. And there are also some groups like for monero maxis and so on. You could check my follows they're mostly monero and agora people 👍

The thing is this useful advice is pretty basic and around since the early days. It just got dismissed since HWW get heavily marketed in the bitcoin bubble nowadays...

There a different possibilities and levels to this.
In a straightforward and simple variant you'd just use an old computer not connected to any networks or with communication modules destroyed and boot up a trusted OS.
Non persitent tails on a USB might be good.
You install something like feather wallet and generate a new wallet. You put down the secrets on a piece of paper and export some addresses via USB or QR. You shut down the computer (the digital wallet data would be lost in this case).
You can now deposit on the generated addresses and when you need to move the funds you import your spend key into a wallet on an online device, making the wallet hot.
With view keys in monero you can also just monitor the incoming transactions when the wallet is still cold, whereas in bitcoin you'd have that information publicly in the block explorer if you think thats a good idea (I wouldn't).

Implicitly excluding HWWs, I was referring to general purpose computers for an air gapped device running FOSS.
Purpose built HWW are generally a bad idea imo because of all the juicyness and attack vectors and should only be considered a good security trade off when built yourself with anonymously sourced parts and running open sourced code.

Also the ridicule serves as a motivational trigger and (most) bitcoiners are notoriously resistant to just plain arguments...

Because it's so simple I guess 🤔
Generate a wallet on an air gapped device and write down the seed or stamp it in metal if you value your crypto enough. That's it 🤗

I can imagine it's bitter losing funds like that but falling for some gay ass maxi marketing ploy instead of just using a cold wallet like anyone else stems from vanity seeking behaviour. I always found it weird talking to bitcoiners who recommend HWW to the noobs and not emphasize some basic security aspects like FOSS and privacy by default... And I don't see there has been learned a lesson here yet but that the ethos still keeps up today. I hope the ridicule helps to guide some in the right direction 🙏

If BTCs price is not at least doubling every 4 years the security budget in electricity or dollar terms will start to shrink and will not stop. No healthy transaction fee market can counter that I don't think. And as more ASICs become unused it would get ever easier and cheaper to attack no?

Crypto people and BTC maxis seem to be a more receptive crowd for the cyber money narrative compared to the usual masses of fiat NPCs.
I don't think theres much yield in arguing with someone when you spot their ambitions don't line up with your own ones like, in this case, combating centralized control or becoming sovereign through cyber tech and then building your understanding arguing about the technicalities.
But when we do have some little bit in common in these terms I like to enter the other persons paradigm and promote the tech I feel lie within their interests and can help them to achieve more sovereignity like promoting no-KYC and self custody in BTC for instance or private comms and data encryption more generally. 🙂

As I see it the LN technology is interesting and can bring improvements especially for self hosted and special use cases but is more difficult to run.
Most LN users are and gonna be onboarded with a custodial setup through an intermediary layer, akin to traditional payment processors, which gives rise to a centralized vectors of regulatory attacks.

I wouldn't expect it getting that big anytime soon or ever. I expect affordability of hardware outpacing moneros blockchains demands in the mid to long run, even with accelerating adoption. Also it's not necessary for everyone to run a node.
With BTCs block size limits you could soon run a node on every fridge out there but whats the point? I find miming decentralization more important and that I don't see improving with BTC...

I see. But when hosting your own node wouldn't you need to open channels and lock liquidity beforehand with each merchant you want to have instant payments? Routing through hubs would incur fees and actually form centralization no?

I agree instant payment is a great benefit. But the trade off is centralization. At that point one can also just use a crypto backed credit card.
I use crypto in the first place because it's p2p.
