The core devs don't want to let users configure their node how they want. Here's a screenshot of my node config with Knots. 
I'll make it simple: do you want Bitcoin to be your choice, or have someone else tell you what Bitcoin is?

At this time, the people need a reminder that there will always be attacks against Bitcoin
Bitcoin exists to remove trust of 3rd parties, if you so choose. We all know the value of being able to transact without relying on a trusted 3rd party by now. This value extends to the code you run for your node. Bitcoin core became the most popular node client software because they made it easy. Now, as recent events show, that trust comes with cost. Users running core are treated like idiots that can't manage their own config. Core devs are influenced by monied interests and gatekeeping PR discussions. Antithetical to Bitcoin as free open source software.
Node in a box solutions also introduce trust, whereas users can lose control of their software and self sovereignty. Most don't let you learn how to change or update your node software. Pushed updates are a massive security flaw. Backdoor risks are a huge problem. The company can go out of business, leaving users with a paperweight. They introduce complexity in Bitcoin which is designed to run on just about any potato computer in the first place. Users can even run a pruned node if storage space is an issue.
If at any point you need a 3rd party to transact or verify, you defeat the purpose of using Bitcoin in the first place.

The #pleb solution to the #Bitcoin Core debacle: Just run #Bitcoin Knots! 🤓 https://bitcoinknots.org
gm knots gang
because he's using node in a box solutions which aren't made for you to be in control of your software. switching to knots is simply replacing the qt (executable) file. start9 and umbrel are the same garbage as Core. stop trusting 3rd party services!
fuck these people. enemies of #Bitcoin I'm running Knots

although i disagree with node-in-a-box solutions, thank you
that's it right there. they don't want you to have the choice. Bitcoin knots lets you choose your mempool policy.

have you tried not being a shitcoiner?

run a node, and don't update beyond Core v 28. better yet, switch to knots.
