I understand that the *intent* of Asmap is righteous; but at the end of the day your are banning/closung connections to peers that are "on the list" I just hate everything about it. Pseudo-scientitic labeling of "good vs bad" peers. We'll get a risk score next

except thats not true. It doesn’t ban any ips on a list, it just ensures that the active connections aren’t all from a single entity
>The number of knots nodes i'm connected to has dropped off a cliff. fascinating. >I also ban all aws nodes from my node. surely a coincidence. Are we not splitting hairs? ASmap makes you disconnect/not connect in the first place to a set of nodes, which is defined in the dat file. Maybe it's not technically an (ip) ban, but the dat list acts de facto as a "shun list" the way i see it. Please correct me if i'm wrong.

That is not what it does, it just tries to be diverse across different asans. It's not a shun list.
