Exactly. This is how it's always been and why it is so cringe to watch the polarization that is now so prominent in the increasingly toxic internet culture to leap over into Bitcoin discussions. There is absolutely no need for it and all it brings is bad decisions, for example:
- Exploring hardforks
- Intense moderation
- Attacking people based on their gender/race/religion
- Forming private echo chambers
- Writing hit pieces on your colleagues (or providing "journalists" with ammo for it.)
The challenge is not at all whether you run Knots or Core or something else. Whether you filter or not. Instead: can you make your decisions without being influenced by misguided or dishonest actors?
On the contrary, I think it's a war that needs to be waged forever, perpetually renewed for the evolving context.
Blockchain is war without violence.
I agree that ad funded social media makes it less efficient and incendiary that it needs to be. Twitter is brain damage.
