Why are posts that expressing support and wish towards Monero’s proliferating adoption getting some downvote-bombings in here? Examples:
- https://monero.town/post/4160760 : “let’s promote monero”; -10 karma
- https://monero.town/post/4041778 : “let’s promote monero”; -9 karma
or this one:
Just started the skepticism thread, and there is an instant -1 downvote on that.
wtf is this? Are we getting brigaded by grudgeful bitfags? Is it the overly-sensitive leftist fediverse dwellers that can’t stand the words like “shock-troops” or “the final solution”? What the hell.
You must log in or register to comment.
Random guy with no affiliation to crypto and only a vague understanding of monero from another instance here, who saw the post on /all.
Most people stumbling over posts like this probably see yet another shady cryptocurrency and aren’t interested or even actively dislike it, resulting in downvotes. Calling people “grudgeful bitfags” and “overly-sensitive leftist fediverse dwellers” probably doesn’t help all that much either, neither do comments that attribute a general disinterest to a “very successful psyop by the CIA to make crypto look like a scam”.
It seems this instance doesn’t fit your liking, go lurk in .world
Your post here contains a homophobic slur.
“Shock troops” implies actual violence.
“the final solution” implies violence, genocide, and antisemitism.
Your first link goes to a post suggesting that people put pro-Monero messages inside new books at bookstores. Most people would perceive this as vandalism, and possibly as advertising that they don’t care for.
If you want to promote Monero on Lemmy, to start, you will need to stop being homophobic and antisemitic, and stop promoting violent themes.
Try making a message based on positivity. Compared to paying with a credit card, where I have the right to make a chargeback in many situations, what benefits are there to paying in Monero?
Lemmy hate cryptocurrency
Anyone can host a Lemmy instance and defederate
I don’t hate cryptocurrency. I hate crypto scam.
I hate scams in FIAT too, yet here we are.
Even if Lemmy is open for instances for freedom of speech monero.town still fits the “we play nice here avoid some speech”. And this criticisms and downvote brigade I have seen it in X and Nostr too. Glowies, crypto-haters and maxis are already lurking here.
The good thing of Lemmy is there is no karma bs.
“-9 karma”? karma?? Since when does Lemmy support karma?

Do not give much attention to downvotes. There are many crypto haters over the network who will use their chance to downvote if they see a non-negative crypto related post.

r/Monero is a place of tribalistic circlejerk. I downvote promotional, tribalist or maximalist posts while upvote good informational and technical posts, news, etc.

cause lemme hates crypto currencies. I reckon it’s from a very successful psyop by the CIA to make crypto look like a scam I suspect related to the mainstream pushing of NFT bullshit.
Then again this is just my crazy conspiracy theory. Btw im not suicidal.
@muntedcrocodile @k4r4b3y The reason crypto in general is considered scammy is because BTC, ETH, and most others are simply not useful as currencies, due to LIMITATIONS OF DESIGN. Such as hardcoded blocksize, block transparency, and more.
Right from the beginning, people doubled down on their investments selling flimsy alternative theories than the simple design goal of “Internet cash”
AFAICT, only one serious project has had the engineering focus to make design changes as needed. XMR is money
Yeah, that’s fair. Multiple things can be true at once.
