/btc subreddit is full of hypocrites or shills or just plain insane people. First they say that the forum is heavily censored, which is not. It's only moderated in a way to not let shills manipulate the public opinion, which they obviously do
moderate, is just to remove talk of illegal activity..
censoring is to delete posts/comments and ban/suspend people just because the opinion is different to what the forum staff have when talking about something ontopic
so i agree this forum tries its best to not censor people, and does try to stick to only moderating... i do find it funny that the moderators working for this forum cant accept any opinion that differs from the blockstream rhetoric.
its also funny that those same blockstreamers cannot use statistics or numbers to rebutt. but instead resort to insults. which funnily enough is breaking their own rules and technically means they should ban themselves.
i know they are protected from self-banning and use that to poke the bear to make everything into a personal attack until the other person personally attacks them as a plausible excuse to ban the person.
in my opinion there should be no classic vs blockstream debate. and that there should HAPPILY be MANY implementations, and that no codebase should have ultimate power of the code.
but we do have blockstreamers wanting blockstream to own and control the rules.. afterall there is 55million invested. and please dont reply that the 55millionis only used for a handful of people not related to the code in any way. or that blockstream only pays a couple people with no control.
