I agree with your pushback on the repetitive csam argument. Though I do agree with them that it's still a valid point, the bsv example shouldn't be dismissed.

In the end my decision to be on Knots side is based on this:

Core has demonstrated too much questionable behaviour. This while I also disagree with Core's changes itself (as I think was stated by you before; why not 160 bytes first and see what results this has).

On top of that they completely ignored a fair chunk of their (ex) users' input.

Even if we hypothetically assume they are correct on the technical side, their method of operation resulted in me never trusting the core brand again.

Yup I feel similarly. I don't even consider the CSAM part of the argument on either side. I am very cautious of situations and institutions where the gates to spam/barbarians are slowly inched open little by little and by the time people inside the walls realize how wide they're open, the door-openers say "welp, too late now!" (Especially when there have been a few prescient individuals who, the whole time, have been shouting "Hey! these fuckers over here keep inching this door open!" and the door-openers laughed at them throughout)

You see that sort of shit again and again all over the world. It's sneaky. I would have a lot more respect for the alternative view holders if these things happened all at once and the people doing it were up-front about their intentions. But don't creep around and try to pull a fast one on people.
