Some decided to rage-quit, others are actively fighting on the new Dashjr coin, and yet others decided to about-face and offer some humble pie.

As far as public apologies go, this by Knut Svanholm is pretty OK
(There's a monetary point in there I wish to address separately).

blah-blah-blah, spam is bad, bitcoin is money only, we shouldn't have Vitaliks around. OK cool,

This shift in developer culture was, in my according-to-me-appropriately-humble opinion, in itself a reason to support BIP110. So I did support it. I did what I could to help it get activated. I encouraged people to run nodes and signal for it, and I signaled for it myself

Realizing and reflecting on one's own actions.

Making the proper assessment of what happened/reality proving you wrong

answer 2) is correct, Bitcoin is still Bitcoin and worth fighting for. We may have lost one battle, but there are many more battles to come. I personally currently lean towards this answer. I think I overestimated BIP110's chances of triggering a cascading dominoes scenario. Therefore, I hereby choose to eat an appropriately small piece of Humble Pie rather than an entire Double Down pie.

This is only true insofar as BIP110ers don’t choose to switch to a PoW-change chain.
I felt reinvigorated. My role in this going forward is to spread this message. A ton of people on the BIP110 side will be unsure whether to choose BIP110-coin or Legacy-coin. If they choose unwisely, or based on false beliefs, they could lose a lot of money. I am not going to be the guy who leads lemmings off a cliff. I am not going to encourage people to sell their legacy sats for 110 sats. If anything, why not keep both? That way you stay on the potentially self-repairing Titanic while keeping the option to flee to the last-minute lifeboat if needed.

"I never based my support for BIP110 on the likelihood of the outcome I wanted. Nor was I ever “worried about my reputation” because the only reason I have one, in the first place, is that I never worried about it.""I never based my support for BIP110 on the likelihood of the outcome I wanted.

Gangster. Real based.

The Bitcoin Infinity Show will continue as usual.
I will continue to produce the highest quality AI-free pleb slop to the best of my ability whenever I feel compelled to do so. And in about a week from now, I'll be quietly celebrating Bitcoin Infinity Day with a nice, humble piece of pie. I hope as many of you as possible will join me.

The most aggressive wing of BIPtardary carries a stain that will wash out only with some serious repentance work (and, I suppose, time!). For some, like the scammers and pedo-obsessed Luke and Mechanic (and the stubbornly mistaken cat) there's no way back. Justin is already trying to whitewash himself... not enough For others, like Knut, there is; I'm glad to see he's taking it.
