NVK apparently disagrees strongly. He’s making jokes on Twitter about it. I don’t understand this space, and I’m beginning to question some things.

Odell and many others are conflating node configurable rules with censorship. One miner filters tx with more than 42 bytes in op_return, some consider this censorship. However, Bitcoin Core by default filters tx with more than 80 bytes, but those same people do not consider that censorship. However, I am "censored" from sending tx with 100 bytes in op_return. Another nice example: Nostr relays filtering p*rn or shitcoin talk are also not considered censorship for these people. But filtering spam from the mempool somehow is. And I think we all agree that storing dickbutt pictures on the chain is not the purpose of Bitcoin (p2p electronic cash system) which makes it spam.
