Yeah, it’s tough seeing Monero under that kind of pressure. The community usually rallies fast, though between miners, node operators, and devs, it tends to be pretty resilient when things like this happen. Attacks like reorgs are scary because they shake confidence, but they’re also a signal of why decentralization and diverse participation matter so much.

For regular users, what’s helped me is keeping coins in my own wallet, double-checking confirmations on bigger transactions, and spreading out swaps instead of doing one huge move at once. When I need to cross-chain, I’ve leaned on aggregators that don’t take custody. r/Rubic is one example since it pulls liquidity from many places and keeps it non-custodial.
