Why are posts that expressing support and wish towards Monero’s proliferating adoption getting some downvote-bombings in here? Examples:

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.

    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.
