If Trump's administration becomes so bitcoin friendly, will theymos consider lifting mixers ban in the forum?

OP i don't know why you are raising a fresh discussion about a possibility of Mixers return to the forum. If Mixers will return to the forum again, i think Theymos will be in the best position to give us a heads up about it and until then i see no need for further discussions about Mixers. Perhaps, Theymos has already banned threads and discussions about Mixers in the forum. Mixers are not illegal in the first place so it's not about Donald Trump being bitcoin or crypto friendly. The reason why Theymos made a quick move to ban Mixers in the forum is to prevent unforeseen attack in the forum by US law enforcement agencies. Or would you like to see an impromptu attacks on the forum due to continuous promotion and advertisement of Mixers?

First, we don't know if theymos banned mixer on the forum due to the issues that lead to shot down of some mixers during Biden's administration or maybe he just did it as a precaution because of how strick the government were.

You can read what Theymos said here so that you will understand his reasons for Mixers ban in the forum

Bitcointalk.org aims to allow about as much freedom as is reasonably possible. But this is not a darknet forum, and with mixers looking "grayer and grayer", it's no longer reasonably possible to allow linking to mixers. Even though "a cryptocurrency mixing service is not necessarily illegal," a clear pattern has emerged where mixers pop up, last for a little while, and then get taken down by law enforcement once they get too big. Allowing mixers to be posted on bitcointalk.org before they seemingly-inevitably get declared illegal and seized is not sustainable. Therefore, promoting mixers will no longer be allowed, similarly to how darknet sites are already disallowed.
