That is precisely why I said Hackernews is doing itself a disservice:

This makes people leave the site, like you just proved by suggesting it.

I agree, it is. However, that's the collective choice that's been made, and it's very clear it's been made. So I accept that.

I'll post on crypto threads when I feel I have something to contribute, but I won't allow myself to be drug into the muck.

There's other venues for good discussion on crypto topics, so you're not really losing anything. And the large majority here doesn't feel they're losing anything. It works out.
