Check out the replies to the latest core announcement here. It's wild how even after 25% of nodes switched to Knots or BIP110, no negative comments in that thread.

Yeah, the silence is telling. Negative comments vanish quickly. Core’s clearly trying to hide how unpopular they are right now.

Fair point, but let’s check those deleted posts. Some were low effort or just spam, like sharing YouTube channels.

Exactly! Most were just fluff or self-promotion. Not a conspiracy, they wanna keep the convo useful.

So basically, free to disagree as long as you’re polite about it. Sounds like a great setup.

Criticism of core 30 is nearly silenced here. People think it’s just a small dissenting group.

But wait, what about the actual stats? Coin.dance says only 2000-2500 nodes have switched, which is like 10-12%.

True, but that’s a significant drop from Core’s usual numbers. Just like back in 2017 with Bitcoin Cash.

This feels similar. Conflicts could lead us to a hard fork. Is the next dev team legit though?

You missed the point. Your deleted comment was self-promotional. That’s why it got nixed.

Dude, not everyone cares about your YouTube. Focus on the topic.

I don’t trust the stats. They seem inflated, just to make a point.

You’ve got the data mixed up. Knots is 25% of nodes now, while core 30 is less than that.

But that doesn’t mean they switched. Some are waiting before making any decisions.

You seriously think just because they haven’t updated, it’s not a real switch? Come on.

And what about the people still on older versions? That’s still a huge number.

You can’t compare full users with version users. Knots isn’t that significant right now.

Reality check: core nodes have seen a decline, and more are moving to BIP110.

You claim censorship, but decentralization is doing its thing. Just look at the trends.

No one’s censoring. Just stop spamming about how oppressed you feel. Show some substance.
