Re: Theymos (operator of Bitcointalk and Bitcoin subreddit) is censoring Bitcoin XT
You can discuss proposals to change the Bitcoin main chain, but a forked chain that is not also the main chain is an altchain and not truly Bitcoin.

Discussion of hardforks is not silenced. That's why a possible hardfork has been discussed ad nauseam on /r/Bitcoin for the past few months. XT-specific submissions are removed because XT is not Bitcoin.

Um did he just contradict himself?
Hardforks are not silenced yet XT is a hard-fork implementation of bitcoin when certain conditions are met. Some time down the road.
Therefore XT should not be silenced.
Currently (as of right now) XT is Bitcoin as it operates seamlessly with the bitcoin network.
I love the logic fails even by Theymos.
Sidechains, blockstream, and lightning network are not bitcoin yet they are allowed to be discussed on reddit/r/bitcoin
Is this a case of selective censorship?
