Unless and until the ordinals are completely stopped from the Bitcoin network, I see no way out from this situation anytime soon. There was a discussion where Bitcoins dev were talking about banning ordinals from the network. Does anyone know the status?

I think the current status of that operation could be called "complicated", because as far as I understand it, it is not at all simple to remove ordinals without consequences for the blockchain.

The issue of a congested mempool is actively debated within the developer community.It can be confirmed by reviewing ongoing discussions here.

Among the various proposed solutions two approaches stand out. Firstly, the implementation of filters for non-standard Taproot transactions. In this case they say that it could be done even without a soft fork. The second approach involves enlarging the block size. in my opinion it would be a worst option which widens the avenue for spam and is thus less preferable.
