a good place to start would be the majority of replies on this thread
- capableweb 5y agoHN is such a small slice of the "tech community", if we see the definition the same way (people who work in "tech"). I don't think you should take anything you read here as "majority of people in tech thinks like this", because the size is so small.
- brandonmenc 5y agoMy experience is that the ratio of crypto skeptics here on hn more or less mirrors that of any non-crypto focused tech community (ex: coworkers, SIGs, etc)
- ninkendo 5y agoWhat other online tech communities are there out there that I can check out? If you say this is such a tiny one, I’d love to see the “bigger than HN” community you must be referring to.
- capableweb 5y agoReddit, Twitter, other social media. But then there are (believe it or not) communities outside of the internet as well. Actual people working actual jobs in real life.
- ninkendo 5y agoTwitter is an “online tech community”? I think we have different definitions of the term. To elaborate, I think there’s too much non-tech people on social media for you to say that it’s a better representation of the “tech community” than HN. HN has at least some self-selection towards people who are interested in tech, whereas Twitter/FB/etc has way too much noise from non-tech uninformed crypto fetishists to say it’s representative of the “tech community”. (That is not to say that non-tech people’s opinions don’t matter, or that twitter/FB/etc are not good places in general, but the subject of this thread of discussion is “what the tech community thinks of crypto/web3” and I don’t think “everyone on twitter” is great to use as a counter-example.)
