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.
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”.
Lemmy hate cryptocurrency
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?
fag can be an offensive term, as its used as a derisive term for homosexuals.
When we are promoting monero for people to use, we should not EXCLUDE ANYONE intentionally or otherwise.
I’d appreciate it if you could use a different term
Are we getting brigaded by grudgeful bitfags?
haters/misanthropes/anti-crypto fascists are good alternatives
i.e.
Are we getting brigaded by grudgeful bitcoin maxis?
From a purely strategic perspective, if you want businesses to adopt digital cash, you have to use language that businesses are not afraid to be associated with.

Did you even read the comment before down voting? avoiding exclusive language is a good thing for all of lemmy
I realize you came to this post and down voted every comment, so maybe you were caught by the rhythm.
Though on reflection I suppose you could be bots, but if you are human, I really want to see your defense of calling people slurs on lemmy, please respond with words
“could not find user” for both of them. maybe it’s my instance, or their accounts were both deleted.

They exist, maybe a federation issue with beehaw. or they are already banned https://lemmy.world/modlog?page=1&userId=7409782
Actually, probably because beehaw doesn’t federate downvotes, so beehaw may never have seen the user id yet.
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.
