no, the tweet doesn't say this.

cypherpunk isn't pro spam. the argument is over how to limit spam.

hashcash was one way.

Bitcoin (normal core Bitcoin defaults) is a better way. Impose costs on spammers so they can't dominate use of the system.

Knots argues core doesn't go far enough, not that core doesn't limit spam.

You only get spam now because Bitcoin is underutilized because of ETFs and whatnot. My feeling is this will get fixed organically just with the passage of time, more users will utilize Bitcoin and the spammers will mostly get priced out.

But I suppose a 'non filters" way to fight spam would be a soft fork to idk maybe 50 bytes instead of a thousand, forcing regular users to outbid spam. But no one wants to do this.

But it is more cypherpunk ethos than filters.

Filters is whack a mole. You want to fix the problem at the source, by metering utilization.
