It is nice to have a place with true exchange without having to insult the one you don't agree with. For me true free speech is also about respecting the other opinion even if you don't agree. Sometimes it make you change your point of view, sometimes not, but it is certainly not useless to exchange. On some other platform the only "value" exchanged is hate, and it is completely useless for the debate. Some said, which is true, devs have done a great job until now, and the proof is that bitcoin still exist. Thanks to them, thanks to miners, thanks to nodes owners. The only danger for the blockchain is any issue that force any centralization of power on the chain, because this power can be taken, stolen, under external pressure. Of course bitcoin will survive it have so much resilience in his DNA. But, as the code have to be review and updated to keep this resilience up to date, it should be the same for the actors of bitcoin : - miners have to get cheapest energy to survive - node owners have to be many, and for that it is mandatory that they will not need an expensive hardware or heavy internet connection to do their "free" job. - devs have to be sure the blockchain will stay up for his main purpose (transactions). And stay away from ANY pressure (politics, financial, technical...) because they are a lot less than the others actors. Some issues could be the use of centralized git, mail, having job aside that need more and more extra space on the blockchain. I am not saying to completely forbid extra datas on the blockchain. I am saying it is important to stay focus on the main purpose of bitcoin and stay vigilant about that point. So in the end, any power need counter-power and criticism to stay up to date and improve points that can be improved. Mute or ban are never the best solution for this purpose. I found very good exchange on #nostr about that, much more arguing than insulting. I want to thanks really everyone for theses argues whatever their positions was about "spam" and concerns around this. Argues and issues pointed are more lights on problems, and it is better to take informed decisions with the light on.
