Switched it to my node

there has been an insane amount of hate directed toward "core devs", aka me and a handful of people. please don't lecture me about being shallow and counterproductive. all the core devs I know are extremely thoughtful when they consider changes, in terms of how it may effect decentralization and incentives. seeing most of nostr attacking some of the best devs in this space that are working tireless to defend bitcoin against centralizing effects has been pretty disgusting.

The core dev ire has nothing to do with the changes, it has everything to do with their response to descent. To speak to people with valid criticism with derision is what make people call Core devs "shills" or "dumb" or whatever. You can see how someone pointing out a conflict of interest is a valid criticism, right? To be clear some of it is mindless inflooencer "Fuck Core" drivel. But that's commonplace in social media. @8685ebef…58f8faf8 going on about the customer/service provider dynamic differing from open source project is a red herring. The analogy would be people Open-sourcing a physical vault design. Then the major supplier introducing a vulnerability and saying "you don't pay us so you don't get a say in what vulnerabilities we introduce." While yeah, you can't be forved, speech is speech and the point is if you have a logical rebuttal people will side with you. But, what does a mass exodus tell you? That your counterpoints are not compelling. Either way, if you bring more freedom to Core, I say join them and make core greater!

This.

but if you do that, all the larps will yell at you to not do that!

I am a bitcoin core developer, what you're saying about me is not true.

This just turns “bitcoin core devs” into a vague boogeyman that you can lob insults at to radicalize people and endanger our lives. Bitcoin core devs are pretty diverse and have different opinions on things.

there was a panel at bitcoin++ mempool that explained the entire situation. just repeating this to make the situation look worse then it is is bullshit. their explanation is completely reasonable. just go watch it and think for yourself instead of repeating bullshit narratives.

looks like they leveraged filters to remove spam. don't you support that idea?

they locked the thread because the technical discussion became impossible. its a flaw with github. I think they should eventually switch to WoT filtering with a git nostr client so they can continue to do proper review even when its being brigaded
