I can't possibly understand how otherwise smart people can seriously believe that they can censor transactions they don't like (BRC-20/Inscriptions). Wanna play cat & mouse? It takes 20 mins to circumvent any "fix". Should we now all soft fork whenever you propose a new "fix"? It's not even a moral question at this point. It's most likely anger that makes people come up with stupid or even dangerous ideas like this. Stop pretending you can do anything about it. Proposing forks based on your feelings is dangerous because it increases centralization.

Since the inscriptions fans are asking for bigger blocks I think they'll be the ones forking. History tells us how that goes. View quoted note →

It not only increases centralization, but it dramatically lowers trust. There's a share of the population every week that might step into bitcoin -- not necessarily as an orange-piller, but open their first wallet at least. And I think it's the responsibility of those of us in the community to make it look as sane and normal as we can.
