The word "toxic" itself being used to describe your position is weird. I agree with @kepford's take tbh

Lightning's never really had to have had a "toxic" maximalist though, because half of the people that argue about Bitcoin have no clue Lightning as a scaling solution even exists, and the people that do know, are usually never 100% against Bitcoin (excluding Kaspa maxis)

The whole meaning of "maximalism" isn't even the same. It used to mean to push for decentralization, self-autonomy (is that a word?), and being devoid of any influence from banks and politics.

But now, I see self-proclaimed maxis barely touch anything technological on Bitcoin, and just say "Guys, this chart cycle shows me, Bitcoin will go to the moon!!!!" or "Trump is buying more Bitcoin, we are all gonna be rich!"

Doesn't mean there isn't people that still argue about the tech itself, but the phrase itself "maximalist" doesn't mean much
