“Despite the controversy” - this is IMO the biggest issue here. Influencers making non-technically sound arguments should not be able to change the course of dev work

Historically, Core has only advanced non-controversial changes with broad consensus. Core v30 breaks that pattern. If you don’t think that sets a dangerous precedent, I don’t know what to tell you.
What’s more dangerous - influencers being able to force dev behavior to change, or the devs themselves?
yeah i think nostr:npub1r0fj5wr200n0dz9nm37ysrhuy8xeg66ratq5hf960q62caaz8e5sqpuzz3 believes bitcoin core is a democracy and that social media campaigns spawned by influencers can change dev direction. If that was the case then bitcoin would be a dumpster fire of bad decisions.
