the OP already did. i was turned off before i made it 30% into his exposé. the security issues mentioned are exactly the sort of things i look to avoid. so unless the OP is lying or something drastic changes, it is not worth my time. thanks for just asking why Luke. i'm happy to answer.

Knots has been working fine for me. And too much centralization around node running can become a serious issue, one we're seeing Core trying to exacerbate, imo. That's my two cents.

sure. use it then. it isn't an option for me with the security issues and stuff in the OP's post. personal choice. 🤷❤️
