As you all know, we often get a bad rap for our supposed toxic maximalism. Some people seem to fit that characterisation, but most of the people I've met here are very chill and kind. So, I want to know what you all think about trying to replace the meme of toxic maximalism with compassionate maximalism or the like to try and help newcomers feel more comfortable.
This does not mean we condone scams or altcoins or that BS, but that instead we try to be calm and respectful when people bring it up, since often they are merely confused rather than malicious.
Excited to hear your thoughts.
This is bargaining, weakness. Means you weren't into all Bitcoin battles, you are just pretending to be a bitcoiner.

You cannot have compassion for shitcoiners that only want to shitcoinize Bitcoin world.

A person's strength is shown not in their ability to show anger, hate, and contempt towards those with whom they disagree. No, strength is shown in the ability to love and emphasize with those who are wrong, while still standing firmly in the right.
You're a very intelligent person @DarthCoin. I sincerely hope you will one day understand how to love your enemy.

It would probably be much more beneficial in convincing them to adopt bitcoin in the long run if you would emphasize the utility of moving away from fiat first and then showed them the ways that bitcoin is preferable to altcoins in as simple way as is possible. Treat it as two separate arguments leading to the same final conclusion.

Yeah I think if your goal is to change someones mind or understand your point of view, they need to be approached with empathy and understanding.
If your goal is to win arguments and gain followers, be as toxic as you want lol

Do we really need another label or term? Personally I dont like giving people shortcuts to categorize me.

That's valid

Get out of here with your kumbaya, can't we all get along bullshit.
(Only kidding. You're right. I'm only anticipating the responses of others here.)

I concur with you.
No point in hating. Those who do wrong due so out of ignorance and bad luck. They just don't know better.
That doesn't mean we should surrender to stupidity nor malice.
It's contradictory and hard go understand, but we would live better if you could still love those who, given the circumstances, we fight. Put the knife through their heart, and bid them farewell with a kiss right after.
