You’re not fighting spammers.
You’re incentivizing them to put their “spam” in a MORE harmful place and instead of a less harmful place.
I know Bitcoin Core is making the right decision because their reasoning is better than Mechanic, Luke and Matt Kratter.
But your side are just stirring up a bunch of useless drama, in essence sybil attacking the consensus process.
Also, treating Bitcoin Core like a uniform group isn’t how it actually works.
Core devs each have their own opinions, and code only gets merged if it has consensus amongst a large majority.
Mechanic and his allies were suspended because they were spamming this discussion, even though their concerns were addressed (multiple times) and they aren’t even contributors to the Core process.
I’m referring to consensus with the community, not within their group.
Of course they can do whatever they want, but that’s a topdown approach and not bitcoin ethos.
Plus Antoine sitting down and calling Citrea “User” and noderunners “enthusiasts” also worries me
