Anytime who goes to a sub to say "everyone in this sub is wing and the entire purpose of this sub is evil" is probably a lost cause, but it's relatively low effort to respond. If we never try to reach out to people we'll miss the ones that really are ready to change.

Normally r/transhumanism would absorb the blows from these people, like how Jupiter absorbs the asteroids for Earth.

I personally think people who believe that a Singularity event would be a good thing should not reach out. For every receptive person, there is likely at least 10 others who would actively fight it upon learning about it. This means we could end up creating an active anti-Singularity movement. And what good does bringing new people into the fold do? Progress will continue to accelerate regardless of how many cheerleaders it has
