To be fair, we had a somewhat similar situation. But it got handled much better. When Mordinals hit, the community and the devs were pretty quick to not like this, as it hurt the goal to build real digital cash. So the devs quickly limited the possibility to mint mordinals (through limiting the size of TX_extra I think). This was a quick soft fork that got adopted very quickly from the vast majority it seems.
I think what helps with this is that the vast majority of Monero users are hyper focused on building the best and usable digital cash. Which isn't possible without fungibility, which itself needs privacy and no nonsense like NFTs attached to the TXs.
Also I think most Monero users enjoy seeing Monero's price going up, but would never compromise on the goal/principles for NGU.
This mindset is going to make Monero succeed. Tari & DarkFi will serve the need for all the web3 stuff etc, but Monero is going to be the digital cash we need to become more free and self sovereign, no matter how much it gets attacked by the state and others.
