I find that the biotech hackerspaces I've gone to don't have this problem. That's because the biotech equipment is not really amenable to back to the land post apocalyptic use and it takes a while to learn how to use it to be able to do anything productive. A lot of kooks think that they can throw some bits together and make an iron man suit. If they actually found out how much work it is to actually make simple things, I think they'd lose interest.
Maybe have people have to take a class or two on how to use the equipment before they can join?

I did the wood shop orientation and decided not to join because I had to postpone the project I was planning. But I don't know whether that filters out the annoyances mentioned.
- vanderZwan 9y agoWell, one would expect the "no Frankenfoods!"-crowd to avoid places that call themselves biotech hackerspaces.
