While there are typical comments like crypto=scam “You have to be quite stupid to support crypto in 2023”, there are also replies like these (with which more people seem to agree, unexpectedly):
It’s designed to protect anyone using it - even attackers. That’s the price to pay for having privacy. The alternative is an Orwellian dystopia.
If you’re going to use Luna, FTX, and NFTs as arguments about something like Monero, […] you probably don’t really understand any of them.
It’s a bit odd that such a discussion is more active on a different Lemmy instance than here, but it’s interesting to hear honest opinions of various people about the incident, about Monero. Maybe your views are different from them, from mine. For example, one person states there that while they know exactly what Monaro is, they’re still skeptical.
You’re right. I’m new to social media in general, and was misunderstanding that Monero.town is where Monro-related discussions take place on Lemmy. A better interpretation seems to be: Monero.town is for Monero users, while !Technology@lemmy.world is where people talk about (computer) technology in general.
One is for Monero users, so it’s relatively small, quiet and cozy. The other is about technology, including but not limited to cryptocurrencies, so it’s large and busy. Since Monro is a technology, they may talk about it too. Makes sense.
