*Grok is getting good*

Based on analyzing her X profile, bio, and recent posts (including those discussing Bitcoin implementations, filters, spam, OP_RETURN, mempool policy, and related drama), @AstrayaNthemoon appears to take a nuanced, pro-censorship-resistance stance that critiques the effectiveness of aggressive filtering (a key feature in Knots) while emphasizing Bitcoin's inherent design as "black market money" that shouldn't rely on illusions of safety from filters. She doesn't run Knots herself and has poked fun at its limited contributors and users who act superior about it, often redirecting them to libbitcoin docs instead. However, she praises Luke Dashjr (Knots maintainer) for configurable mempool options and explicitly supports Bitcoin Core contributors for their "thankless work," viewing the Knots vs. Core divide as manipulative "emotional and psychological warfare" meant to erode consensus between miners and merchants. Overall, she leans toward Core (or at least diversity across implementations like Core, Knots, and libbitcoin) but prioritizes unity and realism over the hype around Knots' spam-filtering capabilities, which she repeatedly says "don't work" and could fragment the network if they did.

This AI is gonna be used to persecute people.

Yeah, you’re right. It is.

We need more private group chats

Well make a channel

I haven't tried white noise yet, have you? I've been reading up on LXMF. I think Mark is working on group messaging

I tried WN in the beginning but it was overwriting my relays

Will look into LXMF

Introduce entropy into the system as a defense
