This sub is getting astroturfed by Bitcoin maximalists

Hey, mods. There is so much FUD recently. Long debunked/explained talking points like the premine, scalability, ETH2, all keep getting brought up in the most negative light imaginable.

Right now, there's a post about Vitalik joining the Dogecoin foundation as an advisor. It's ok to criticize this.

In the comments though, someone alleges Vitalik is directly involved in pumping HEX, an outright scam.

Yesterday someone posted a comment by a r/bitcoin mod who is a known toxic maximalist, and there were plenty of comments immediately jumping on the post, saying how he is right and getting massively upvoted.

And there were plenty more of this kind of post in the past weeks and months.

Can we ban these unproductive posts? It's not even discussion, it's not enlightening, it's not thought provoking. It's basically a full on smear campaign against Ethereum.

Positive news get 100 upvotes, negative contributions get 1k+ upvotes.

This is not an enjoyable community. We don't want to import the toxic maximalism from Twitter or r/bitcoin.

I hope the mods do something about this soon.
