Great thread! Can I propose referring to #FixTheFilter boys as Filturds?

Essentially, you have two camps in Bitcoin making noise at the moment: One camp is ours. We believe that podcasting culture and the general dumbification of the Bitcoin audience is a big problem and detrimental to Bitcoin. Bitcoin is its culture. We don’t believe that the ”Bitcoin Maximalist Laser Eye” faction actually understands that the financialization and institutionalization of Bitcoin is leading Bitcoin to the brink of ossification, with no opcodes to allow Bitcoin to actually function competently for monetary use, and with terrible privacy properties. If the Bitcoin protocol ossifies in its current state, the blockspace will be a a-kin to a graveyard of custodian-to-custodian transactions with no privacy, a garbage bin for JPEG spam, and with a very uncertain future for how to create a sustainable security budget for Bitcoin via fees. We want to encourage the Bitcoin community to be more proactive with ensuring a viable future, following along the development path that was laid out with Taproot. Taproot came with a feature for how to softfork in old (and new) opcodes via OP_SUCCESSes. Most of Taproot’s inventors are surprised/disappointed to know that no effort has been made to re-enable OP_CAT under this paradigm. The wizard JPEGs were designed to create a visual aesthetic for a community to counter the Laser Eye profiles, visually demonstrating that Laser Eye is not the only culture present in Bitcoin. The other camp is the Knots/#FixTheFilter boys, who believe that whining, complaining and virtue signaling while undermining technical realities is the best way forward. For @LukeDashjr and @GrassFedBitcoin it is surely the best path forward to get @LukeDashjr out of the hole he dug himself by storing his BTC on an insecure Gentoo Linux server, but unfortunately, for the useful idiots who follow this school of thought, there is no path to a more successful Bitcoin protocol following the footsteps of those leading this faction. I don’t necessarily blame these useful idiots, because I know they’re not very technical people and the virtue signalling works well on them. And I can’t really blame anyone who ”fell for the seemingly virtuous path”—it means you’re a well-intentioned person. That’s good. Technically retarded, but virtuous. In closing, it is hard to be a Bitcoiner. It is hard to know what looks right but is wrong, but it what looks wrong but is right. These are technically challenging subjects and we can’t do more than try our best to navigate the jungle. Anyway, hope that prepares you for how to participate in discussions in Vegas if you haven’t been following along that closely.

nailed it. the FixTheFilter crowd are all just a bunch of commie ideologues who LARP as freedom fighters. couldn't have said it better

Found another npc ready to be programmed. Here's your FixTheFilter chip...

This guy's been one of the #FixTheFilter side characters for a year or so and this summarizes an average post of his

FixTheFilter folk are quick to cite this as one of the worst selling issues (I haven't factchecked) but it really is excellent.

Not my fault that simple fight scenes can't even play due to that stupid kid. #FixTheFilter #characterai

So many people getting frustrated they can’t easily change #Bitcoin -FixTheFilter bros mad they can’t restrict “spam” -Soft-fork proposals taking forever to gain traction This is all by design. If you can easily change Bitcoin, that defeats the purpose.

Many people are afraid that spam filters will be hijacked to make censorship, the solution is simple, run a node software whose filters suit you. #FixTheFilter

Going to be hilarious when we hit the halving and degens go full tilt at the first 10 runes while the FixTheFilter crowd continue to rage on about OP_FALSE OP_IF and bare multisig. Free advice: spend 10 minutes learning what is going on.

or #FixTheFilter ? 😅
