It’s genuinely disappointing how few people care about the actual technology anymore

Been here since 2016 and everyone used to follow the technology, and you could have great conversations about what technology is the best. Regardless of what subreddit you posted in. People were interested in discussing a chains current upgrades, or open to discussion on what they could work on, and what other chains were leading the way.

Now unfortunately you make any post remotely trying to discuss issues with a chain’s technology, or compare one chain’s technology to another, and that post is going to be obliterated.

Personally as a software engineer I think Polakdots JAM upgrade is really important for the industry. And I frequently try to get insight into why other people think their chain of choice will have the best technology.

But literally all you see now is “dead chain”, “look at price”, “look at how fast our transaction are”… like totally fine I get it most people are here for the gains now. But all the subreddits are essentially run by them now, and its impossible to have a solid discussion about the state of the technology
