I'm only on nostr, and I haven't seen that. Did Mechanic say that on video or in writing? If he's got a dark side, I want to know about it. If its hearsay, then try to give people a chance. Does it seem as if something is using this issue to divide bitcoiners? I mean, unnaturally.... The nature of this community would make it very easy to stir things up without any kind of accountability. You're a leader, so you need to be the level headed one and explain things calmly and not get baited. Maybe make a video where you go point by point and explain your perspective. I'd like that. Just be nice. The community needs some outreach. We can't continue like this.

Mechanic was on video.
His most recent one? I'll go find it
Idk, I don't watch him.
But you're ignoring all the other points. Death threats. Bullying core maintainers to leave their role. Brigading GitHub. The "other side" doesn't do any of that.
Solution is simple : coexist between Core and Knots . Users decide what best for them .
They want simplicity choose core
Want more advanced security chose knots
HOld on sec !! They come out with the new one , named ; The Core V30
CORE BITCOIN VERSION 30 #bitcoin
It removes OP_RETURN limit , removed 80-byte cap on OP_RETURN and this enabling to 4MB of data per transaction by default
Knots dislike this ! Can floods network
With spam or adult content or porn or malware 🤯
Regardless of what you choose, if limits are lifted and people run Core 30, let's say 5% of nodes run the latest version (you can fill up one block with one jpeg) they will relay that tx, and if it gets confirmed by a miner, your node will have it. That's what is meant by "we'll rape your node".
Just don't upgrade to the latest version, run 29.0.0 and set your own limits. Those who will run 30 are responsible for their choices and we can't do much about it except choosing not to run it. That's it.
