I haven't seen any proof of core devs sponsoring or condoning the censorship moderation.
IIRC Luke Jr commented approvingly on reddit (but he admitted that, if XT gets the majority, then it is references to Core that should be censored instead. I haven't seen any Blockstream guy condemn it.
And it is not "moderation", but plain censorship, and banning users by the dozen. They even changed the CSS to suppress reddit's "[deleted]" placeholders (so that the comments often do not seem to make sense).
Not an inch different than what Pravda's editors would do in the good old days of the USSR. Or the military government did here 1964-1984.
You do understand there is a difference between "the Blockstream guys" and users against an irrational block increase? Of course you do
Of course I do. It is the difference between those spreading baseless FUD, and those repeating it without bothering to understand and check it.
I'd also argue "the Blockstream guys" are more competent engineers than Gavin & Mike.
Well, you keep your opinion, I'll keep mine, thank you.
