every hardfork is hostile, monero has hardforked half douzen of times

ridiculous
when there's consensus,
in what sense is it "hostile"?
There will always be a small minority who dont agree with forks. And it's not really true consensus because 99.9999% of users dont have the knowledge to understand whats being changed in the code, you have to trust a few handful of devs. Bitcoin has this problem aswell. Every fork is hostile.
communities have to make decisions somehow penguin
you can call it "hostile" because some rando running a node somewhere disagrees or isn't interested in change.
your perspective there just results in "nothing ever happens because somebody somewhere doesn't understand or doesn't agree"
it results in inaction 100% of the time with a community of more than 50 people.
there are no "win-win" utopian solutions where everybody agrees and nobody gets hurt.
welcome to the real world.
we move forward.
> consenting adults using computer and pressing "update node" is literally hostile
:smug2:
there are people who dont agree with those hardforks and they had to update.
every hardfork is hostile, even bitcoin softforks are
the people who don't agree can keep running the old versions of the node :confused: this is how bitcoin vs bitcoin cash came to be, or ethereum vs ethereum classic
even though a monero classic also exists, it's waaay more unpopular than those other crypto's counterparts, it's like if it doesn't exist because it's not even traded anywhere, because everyone agreed to monero's upgrades and have been keeping up so far and there has been no point in keeping the old software version
like right now: the next upgrade being FCMP, people are free to keep using the outdated decoys technology but there's no point, everyone saw the research, the audits, is waiting for the code to be complete, will verify it, then it'll be good to run as a new version, no hostility in pushing it out
Running old versions? Yeah right, with such a low user base while everyone else has updated.. Every fork is hostile, specially hardforks, but whatever, good luck.
