Remember that we have an entire generation behind us in which a few determined what everyone used. Even if a few overreact now, it's only healthy because they want to understand what's happening & not be dependent again on the hidden decisions of a few. Of course it becomes difficult when people have a say without knowing the underlying issues, but that's part of the process of a real response to decades of abuse.

Care to engage with an undecided dude? What I don’t understand is why the PR presented 2 years ago to improve the filters was rejected. To me it seems that core has given up on trying to improve filters and are now saying “filters don’t work, miners found a way around it, so might as well open the doors and work on the economic incentives”. 1) There does not seem to be consensus on the fact that filters cannot be improved 2) If filters cannot be improved, then why remove them and exposing ourselves to risk of spam overflow (as core itself is not sure of this, using “should” many times) instead of changing consensus by making them not acceptable? Chhers in advance
