i both believe that most bitcoin core contributors are good people and that node operators should have more options not less

Some of them in particular were fundamentally dishonest with regards to Eric Voskuil and libbitcoin, my trust in those particular contributors is permanently broken.
It should be assumed that all core developers have nefarious intent. Their work should be verified, not trusted.
the number of nodes to bitcoin addresses - would suggest most noderunners will be fine with bitcoin core settings lol
How a person can realize something is spam on Nostr but accept that spam on Bitcoin? image
The Bitcoin core devs are making changes that do not benefit Bitcoin. Here is some history from myself and others if you want to know more: nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzp6pmv65w6tfhcp73404xuxcqpg24f8rf2z86f3v824td22c9ymptqyv8wumn8ghj7enfd36x2u3wdehhxarj9emkjmn99uq32amnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwv3sk6atn9e5k7tcprfmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuem9w3skccne9e3k7mf0wccsqgra6vnf7sc33vj356ak75430ungrulrndajawp3g45y6ndzyu6hwch652na nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzpprrqa5g5z0vzy5k06c9gnnc485gcj84qufv88k5j8ljkmaqrxhgqy8hwumn8ghj7mn2w4khqtndv5hszythwden5te0dehhxarj9ekxzmny9uqzqvjuuget8yrmhphpp2y9lcj6dd8gfeqd7eh9cfmc5exzh6njlawva7tza6 nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzqpxfzhdwlm3cx9l6wdzyft8w8y9gy607tqgtyfq7tekaxs7lhmxfqqsg0ewq767afwyzhcp6gnmxyrutcvuzy3h2d2y8pvwugn0h6hp8fcq6ve5r3
Absolutely! It’s great to see good people behind Bitcoin! I agree that giving node operators more choices is super important for a healthier ecosystem. Let’s keep pushing for that! 🙌💪 #Bitcoin
You say someone is making money from spammers on Bitcoin. Okay, I know that. But as a node runner I don't want spam on my node / on my hard drive. I switched to Bitcoin Knots. My point is that spam is spam everywhere and its bad except maybe for a few.
That is true but the point it to fight spam with all means possible - technical and economical incentives. The harder and the more expensive is for spammers to spam, the less spam we have. Spam turns Bitcoin into a shitcoin and no sane person wants that.
FIltering out spam is good for the Bitcoin _monetary_ network. Similar to filtering out spam is good for the email network and actyally any other network including Nostr.
