Great, so here's a fact: we don't do that in here.
Bitcoin doesn't censor because there was no grave need for that. No transactions should ever get censored. I don't consider the Ordinal/Runes spam to be transactions (going back to the P2P transfer of digital cash), so the same rules shouldn't apply. My personal opinion, of course.
If you start censoring this and that, you open the Pandora's box, and be sure you might be next in line to be censored.
Now you are exaggerating. Don't forget that you need a huge majority support to make important changes in Bitcoin. Even a solution for inscription spam might not pass that threshold, let alone something that shouldn't be prevented.
Great. So, what do we do to centralized exchanges and their users? They don't use it as a peer-to-peer cash system; it's clearly against the concept. What about second layers that do not go according to the whitepaper? Let's ban them too, why not? What about OP_RETURN? Clearly not an addition related to financial transactions.
We don't do anything. They aren't a threat. Ordinals don't use OP_RETURN (I think). Runes do. A solution should be found to filter out only inscription spam, nothing genuine. For the record, I don't consider what Luke Dashjr is doing as a good solution because it affects coinjoin transactions.
Or, what do we do to dust attacks? I can claim they are spam and everyone would agree.
There is already a solution to that which prevents us to make transactions below the dust limit.
What makes you think that your opinion on spam is the holy grail of truth we should all follow, whereas my opinion on spam is just subjective and must be ignored?
That's the beauty of discussing different topics. You share your opinions and people either agree with them or not. If the majority agrees, it can be implemented. I don't see why a random person would look at the current situation and go: This is fine, let's not do anything and just pay $20 or $50 per transaction, depending on how much the spammers are spamming at the time.
Btw, there have been multiple posts about these spammers soon losing their money and stopping their attacks. Possible. But the enemies of Bitcoin with access to money printers could also improve their approaches and clog the network in the same way. The current spammers have showed them the way.
