Please, do not give up to entitlement and grinders pre-launch.
Toxic behaviours, out of context words or "contributions", louder in the chats for spots but not for the community, etc.
Let your community meet up, create together, come up together with ideas, organise themselves. You may bring to them a world, but that world is theirs as much as yours - and it starts from your respecting it.
The moment you let them in your thoughts or plans, is the moment you failed your real community.
