division is a result of those whose actions they are reacting to
I also don't see people apologizing, nor do I think they should. however it seems unlikely to me that we will defend ourselves from the state when a chunk of the people who are most likely to self custody and use bitcoin are all pissed at each other.
(it is my impression that it is only the people who are pretty deep in Bitcoin who have been concerned with the debate about spam and BIP 110)
Perhaps you are right that is is unrealistic that we will come together again. I'd at least like to see people focus on self-custody again and resisting things like kyc/aml.
My focus is always on decentralization at the node level. To me the approach taken by Core (and the industry in being largely unconcerned with it) represented a deviation from that priority and everything else is downstream of that. Decentralized mining/self custody/sovereign MoE usage (no KYC/AML etc) are all over if most people aren't doing this stuff with their own nodes.
I want to do that too. But it doesn't do anything about the concerns about unacceptable media storage.
Neither, though you can assume the former. It's stuff that'd make me say "I don't want to run a node anymore" or even "I expect other people will trash their node over this".
i've never checked what's in my blocks folder. there could be plans for an atom bomb in there for all i care. i have a hard time putting myself in the shoes of a bitcoiner who is willing to turn off their node because of the arrangement of bits in that folder. seems precious.
RDTS is reactionary. The division is a result of those whose actions they are reacting to. Defending the network against bad actors is not something anyone should be apologizing for.
Bitcoiners coming together again would be lovely but it's somewhat unrealistic if we take Bitcoin seriously as a anti-government movement that somehow manages to not get infiltrated and subverted from within.
