I am once again being called a “corrupt influencer” because I haven’t jumped on the knots/BIP110 bandwagon, so I responded for the nth time... Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Honestly I love how opinionated the community is - refreshing to make a comment and not gear, sure but did you see the game last night? We used to be readers and debate in bars about the days issues. Now we doomscrool and willingly submit to what your political party says Keep podcasting sir! Cyphertank also cool 🍻
Relay policy stops participation in spam. Whether it stops it or not depends on prevalence. BIP-110 is a reckless soft fork proposal. They are quite separate, despite having some crossover. Many people running knots and advocates thereof staunchly reject BIP-110.
And yea, if you thought maybe we're looking for alternatives as Luke is clearly on the 110 bandwagon, you're not wrong. Turns out creating a new node implementation isn't trivial though. Besides, for now, v29 does what it's supposed to. I care less about op_return than BRC20's, ordinals, inscriptions, runes, and stamps anyway. Op_return is relatively harmless noise. No reason to make it huge but it was always a harm reduction measure. A better approach to disincentivizing spam would be removal of the segwit discount. But we're too wrapped up in retarded alternatives for that to be worth talking about.
I never did figure out how to speak in a Shakespearean fashion anyway. In fairness though I don't even feel too worried about combating 110. It's so dead in the womb the only ones hurt by it are going to be those sending replayable transactions from nodes enforcing it anyway. The extent to which I talk about it mostly is to point out the danger that the leaders of the charge are putting their followers in. Pain is a powerful teacher though.
I'll say it so you don't have to: BIP100/444 Knots is an attack on Bitcoin. If these people had real arguments they wouldn't spend so much effort on ad hominem attacks and using arguments straight out the the State's playbook like, "But what about the children!" It is interesting that aside from Kratter, most the major voices advocating for 110 are paid emplyees of Ocean. Statists gonna state.

The fact that Luke has a history of being hostile to privacy and takes a biblical obedience to the state is really the only red flag any bitcoiner needs to stay the fuck away from this shit show.
Knotts seems to be deep state. The deep state symbolism is in their logo and other places.
Don't waste your time arguing with retards. They're too dumb to realize they're wrong and will just continue spinning in circles and nauseam.
Telling people "run whatever you want" but "Knots is run by the UK gov" meaning the Knotzis are repressive and bad ... spreading misinformation about hard forks from Knots side ...
"I support core, no of course I'm not taking a side, you're a fucking knotzi if you don't believe childporn belongs on Bitcoin"
