Filters work in the same way a tall fence and guard dog works. They can't stop every possible attack, but they deter most and raise the cost of success.
We should be adding filters, not removing them. And all filters should be configurable.
Power to the nodes.
This is the way. Thank you start 9 for commenting on this. Glad to hear you support spam filters and also support the operators freedom of optionality to set policy for themselves. Bitcoin is money.
Filtering relayed transactions is an illusion: you can't avoid the transaction to get mined, and what is even worse, you just push for more mining centralisation and damage the bitcoin p2p network.

If there is anyone NOT pushing mining centralization, it's nostr:npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk and the others at nostr:npub1qtvl2em0llpnnllffhat8zltugwwz97x79gfmxfz4qk52n6zpk3qq87dze, who don't even require individual miners to use their block templates. I can run Knots with whatever datacarrier limit I want and mine on OCEAN, generating my own block templates. Yeah, I am a nobody home miner, but large scale miners can do exactly the same.
I'm glad you have the option to run whatever node software you prefer.
But I'm not talking about intentions, I'm talking about consequences:
Exactly
It could be a good solution

If I want to run a bitaxe and receive the few satoshis earned (not lotto mine), am I required to use knots? If so, this feels like coercion. I hope there will be another solution. I wish to continue using bitcoin core. Over time I have come to appreciate the judgment of multiple bitcoin core devs. I trust that judgement for what is best for bitcoin's success (to remain secure and decentralized) way more then I do that of the two primary proponents of knots.
