Relay filters are to avoid relaying undesirable content. Not all content that a node runner may want to filter out is illegal, it might be a matter of preference. Or it might be a matter of principle filtering out anything over a certain size to ensure that bitcoin is held to a higher monetary standard. But that content may also be illegal and knots node runners and advocates are legitimately getting concerned that their concerns are not getting addressed with a reasonable amount of care and consideration.
I agree that node runners should absolutely be able to apply preferences to their relay policies. I have no issue with the position that Core should not remove user preference settings.
That is however NOT the totality of Knots position nor what they are losing on.

Keep in mind that knots users cannot accept 'co-existence' with core because in that case the spam transactions keep getting through.
It's either dominate (to over 90% required to effect the relay network iiuc) OR fork to change the rules/create a separate network those are the choices fast approaching for knots.

Indeed, they've narrative trapped themselves. Completely out-kicked their coverage, painted into a corner, wrong hill to die on... choose your metaphor.
It'll be a tragedy to see the anti-Core momentum get lost if they continue on this path.

So how much CP will you allow on your machine? Is a few JPEGs an ok amount of CSAM for you?
reply
Try that fud a few dozen more times and see how far you get.
I'm anti-Core by default and you can't even capitalize on that.

Whatever you are you're in the remedial class. I was not expecting that.

I may be retarded but I know exactly why I run a mempool, how about you?
reply
why do you run a mempool?
Fast approaching for core you mean. They are the ones that decided on this course of action. I didnt care until they made an issue of it.
reply
current core users, for better or worse, could take the rip van winkle test and go to sleep for 5 years, probably let their node just run...
and when they woke up it would still be consensus valid. because 100kb op_returns for better or worse are consensus valid. So nothing has fundamentally changed.
(not saying you shouldn't update node software... you should but consensus hasn't changed that's my point)
Knots users, and i'm not judging them in any way, are being put in a position to store whatever on their nodes, depend on the goodness of random people, or fork and change the rules so they know they won't object to what's getting into blocks.
Those are their current options.

If it's not the totality then maybe what you're experiencing as a move of the goalpost is just a bigger goalpost than you can see with your tunnel vision.
reply
You can't even explain why you run a mempool, with hysterical hyperbolic responses like yours you can't blame anyone but yourself for not understanding your position.
reply
I didn't say why I run a memepool because it is none of your business and has nothing to do with the debate, it was just a rhetorical tactic to avoid answering the simple question I asked you, to qualify what you said in your first comment.
You eventually did and the answer was woeful.

So you don't know.
